The Arizona Myeloma Network (AZMN) will be hosting its 6th annual “Living with Myeloma” Conference on Saturday, March 24, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The free conference will be held at the Chaparral Suites Ballroom located at 5001 N.

Registration is available online at http://azmyelomanetwork.org/what/2012confreg.html, and on site registration is also available at the conference from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Additionally, free continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, and 5.5 CME credits will be available to medical professionals.
Last year, over 300 participants attended the dynamic “Living with Myeloma” Conference, which provides cutting edge information about the latest myeloma research and the newest and most exciting therapies for myeloma cancer patients. “Our myeloma conferences have become an important opportunity for patients and families to learn about this rare form of blood cancer and feel less alone,” says Barbara Kavanagh, Founder and President of the Arizona Myeloma Network.
The medical faculty for the conference includes Dr. Robert Kyle, Mayo Clinic, Rochester; Dr. Bart Barlogie, UAMS Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy; Dr. Cristina Gasparetto, Duke School of Medicine; Dr. Bodour Salhia, Translational Genomics (TGen); Dr. Jeffrey Schriber, Scottsdale Health Care/Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center.
Myeloma is a complex and often misdiagnosed cancer of bone marrow plasma cells that attacks and destroys the bone. Founded in 2004, the Arizona Myeloma Network (AZMN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity organization that conducts outreach events and education programs, with special consideration for the underserved African-American, Asian-Pacific, Hispanic American and Native American populations. Volunteers and donations are always welcomed – see www.azmyelomanetwork.org.
