Targeting Host-Tumor Interactions
in Myeloma Therapies
1. A new treatment paradigm targeting both the
tumor cell and its bone marrow micro-
environment can overcome drug resistance
2. Ongoing signaling, gene microarray and
proteomics studies will define novel targets
in the tumor cell and its bone marrow
microenvironment to provide for new, more
specific and less toxic, myeloma therapies
