Next-Generation Sequencing for Clinical Management of Multiple Myeloma: Ready for Prime Time?

Personalized treatment is an attractive strategy that promises increased efficacy with reduced side effects in cancer. The feasibility of such an approach has been greatly boosted by next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, which can return detailed information on the genome and on the transcriptome of each patient’s tumor, thus highlighting biomarkers of response or druggable targets that may differ from case to case. However, while the...
