NEW YORK, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SurvivorNet, the country's leading media company for cancer information, today announced it will host its latest virtual conference, "Key Developments in Multiple Myeloma in The Age of COVID-19 and Beyond," on Thursday, June 4 at 5:30pm ET. The program will take place on SurvivorNet.com via SurvivorNet Connect, a new platform designed to facilitate virtual gatherings for healthcare providers.

The session will include a review of the evolving data around treatment protocols and COVID-19, and will cover the latest approvals and clinical developments shaping the field. Panelists will also address the fact that across all cancers, including in multiple myeloma, there is a staggering disparity in mortality rates for African Americans. The virtual conference will examine practical ways to improve outcomes for minorities and expand access to new therapies.

"Following the success of our inaugural SurvivorNet Connect panel on ovarian cancer, we fast-tracked this new panel to help oncologists stay up-to-date on the latest data related to multiple myeloma amid the absence of major conferences," said Steve Alperin, SurvivorNet CEO and Co-Founder. "Our illustrious panel of experts will help illuminate the key developments in the field for their peers."

The featured panelists include:

• Dr. Nina Shah - UCSF Medical Center;
• Dr. Paul Richardson - Dana Farber Cancer Center;
• Dr. Vincent Rajkumar - Mayo Clinic
• Dr. Joshua Richter - The Tisch Cancer Institute, Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Mount Sinai.
