Segment 4 - Biomarkers in Bone Turnover and Immunoglobulin Expression

Dr Chernew leads the conversation to biomarkers in bone turnover and immunoglobulin expression. Dr Kumar says the use of biomarkers can be very specific to a disease type. He analyzes the use of bone marrow and bone biomarkers for monitoring myeloma bone disease. He says there are both prognostic and predictive biomarkers which suit different purposes. There are also other emerging biomarkers that are being studied and explored.
