Kathleen Colson speaks to ecancer.tv about the complications faced by multiple myeloma patients and how oncology nurses can help them overcome these. It is essential to ensure the patient is well informed and feels in control of their therapy, this information makes it easier for patients to get through their treatment and reduces chance of non-compliance with the treatment schedules.

Ms Colson discusses the range of clinical trials that the Dana Faber Institute is running to further develop the treatment of multiple myeloma and explains what measures are taken to ensure these patients fully understand the risks and benefits when entering a trial.
