The PROMISE Study team will be offering free screenings in Tampa, Florida at the Moffitt Cancer Center this Saturday, October 22! The fair will run from 10am-3pm with screenings starting at 11am.

Join us for an informative event October 26th 6:30-8pm via zoom! "Let's talk about blood cancer: A night of education about Multiple Myeloma" Hope to see you there. Register Here: bit.ly/DFCI1026

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend at the Men's Health Huddle in Tampa! In video below, Dr. Blue encourages the Black community over 30 to screen with PROMISE! You can also screen if you have a first degree family member with blood cancer or related blood condition.

Did you know? Precursor conditions are early blood conditions that may or may not develop into cancers such as Lymphoma, Leukemia, Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia, and Multiple Myeloma. Multiple myeloma is blood cancer found in the bone marrow.

Did you know? Most people with precursor conditions typically do not experience symptoms. Since doctors rarely screen for them, precursor conditions are often never detected until they have progressed to a more advanced stage.

Did you know? The PROMISE Study screens people at a high risk of developing precursors to myeloma, including: - People with a parent, sibling, or child with multiple myeloma or one of its early warning signs - African Americans - People with multiple myeloma precursor conditions

The PROMISE Study wishes you a Happy New Year! Start the new year with a more complete understanding of your health by screening for Myeloma precursor conditions. We are asking for blood samples that we will analyze to test for multiple myeloma precursor conditions.

Check out this article featuring Dr. Irene Ghobrial that discusses Multiple Myeloma in the Black Community. The article addresses questions and topics that fuel the PROMISE Study's commitment to research and early detection, especially in the Black Community.

At the Ghobrial Lab retreat, Dr.Ghobrial & Dr.Khoury discussed the prevalence of monoclonal gammopathies & clinical outcomes screened by mass spectrometry. This new technology, quantitative MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry, defines better outcomes for precursor conditions to Myeloma.
