\n \n\n \n \n \nThe annual Oxford Myeloma Workshop brings together experts in myeloma research, clinical care, patient advocates and industry representatives, to help international efforts to improve patient lives affected by multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is the second most common among all blood cancers, is currently incurable and puts massive strains on patient quality of life with a significantly higher proportion (10 fold) share in health care costs.

\n \n\n \n \n \nThe early warning signs of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can be hard to spot. Any delay in diagnosis of PsA can leave patients uncomfortable and in pain. But slow diagnosis is all too common, according to Professor Laura Coates. She is leading a new study called HPOS, that is looking for 2000 UK volunteers to chart their psoriasis symptoms, and which may help to explain why one third of psoriasis patients to go on to develop arthritis.
