Nurse Emily Lederer of the University of Maryland’s Greenebaum Cancer Center will speak at the quarterly meeting of the Chesapeake Multiple Myeloma Network (CMMN) on Saturday, August 6th at 4:00 PM in the Large Conference Room of the Eastern Shore Conservation Center (114 S. Washington St., Easton). The talk, Understanding Clinical Trials: Key Concepts and Questions for Your Doctor, is free and open to the public. Nurse Lederer, study director for several multiple myeloma clinical trials at Greenebaum, will discuss a variety of basic concepts and topics related to clinical trials as well as helpful questions for cancer patients and their families to have in mind when discussing entering a clinical trial with their physician. Nurse Lederer’s presentation should also be of interest to those experiencing other blood cancers other such as leukemia and lymphoma.
The Chesapeake Multiple Myeloma Network (CMMN) is an informal eastern-shore group of individuals affected by multiple myeloma. Its mission is “to provide ongoing resources of information, support, shared experiences, and hope for persons with multiple myeloma, their families, and friends.” CMMN’s meetings last about an hour and a half.
