This third edition of Multiple Myeloma: A Textbook for Nurses provides a comprehensive resource for this rapidly evolving and complicated field of myeloma treatment. It also provides a foundation for oncology nurses on disease pathology, drug combinations, indications, symptom management, and emerging treatments. New to this edition is information on the development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, which may offer hope for more profound responses and prolonged remissions. The addition of a chapter on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life provides essential context as patients live longer and cope with symptoms and side effects.

À propos de l'auteur

Joseph D. Tariman, PhD, ANP-BC, FAAN, is an Associate Professor and the Associate Director for the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Before joining DePaul, Dr. Tariman performed a dual role for more than a decade as a board-certified adult nurse practitioner and a myeloma research team member at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.

Dr. Tariman's passion for myeloma patient care is evident through his extensive publications and numerous lectures and presentations on myeloma-related topics, including quality-of-life issues, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, clinical drug trials, novel therapies, management of treatment-related side effects, cancer survivorship, health maintenance, cancer treatment decision-making, and treatment outcomes measurement. His most recent research delineated the role of the oncology nurse during the shared decision-making process for cancer treatment. Subsequently, he developed a valid and reliable tool that has been adapted in oncology clinics to identify educational and training needs to increase competency in shared decision-making.
