During the 25th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), the Multiple Myeloma Hub spoke to Steering Committee Member Heinz Ludwig, Wilhelminen Cancer Research Institute, Vienna, AT. This podcast outlines a study that aimed to determine the impact of the oral microbiome in patients uniformly treated with ixazomib + thalidomide + dexamethasone combination therapy for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM.


Oral microbiome characteristics are highly heterogeneous between patients, and a higher microbiome diversity has been associated with favorable prognosis in patients with cancer. However, there remains a lack of data surrounding the influence of the oral microbiome on survival outcomes in patients with MM. This study sought to provide answers—listen for more information!
