Synopsis

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.

About this title

About the Author

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.
