Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research Announces Upcoming Oral and Poster Presentations at the 2008 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting
Two oral presentations and three poster presentations will be offered by researchers from the Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research celebrating the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
LOS ANGELES, CA November 17, 2008 — Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research (IMBCR) today announced that data regarding ongoing research on cancer stem cells in myeloma, new proteasome inhibitors, targeted therapy using RNA sequences specific to the myeloma cells, anti-angiogenic compounds and anti-myeloma effects of a new form of vincristine sulfate will be presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). The meeting will be held Dec. 6-9, 2008, at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California.

The Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research (IMBCR), established in 2004 as a 501 c (3) non-profit organization, is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. IMBCR is the only independent non-profit cancer research institute working to find improved treatment, and ultimately a cure for multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood cells that reside in the bone marrow.
IMBCR research findings have also been presented at annual meetings of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO), and the bi-annual International Myeloma Workshop in Greece. Our research has been published in publications including, Blood, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Cancer, Clinical Cancer Research, Clinical Lymphoma and Myeloma, Oncogene, and the British Journal of Haematology.
