Perspective recommendations on geriatric support for older adults with multiple myeloma based on challenges faced by a multidisciplinary team.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) predominantly affects older adults, with a median diagnosis age of 70 years, posing challenges in management due to frailty, comorbidities, and age-related physiological changes. As the aging population grows, the prevalence of MM in older patients is expected to rise, requiring improved clinical strategies. Methods: This consensus report outlines a multidisciplinary framework for the identification, geriatric assessment (GA), and management of older adults with MM, emphasizing the role of frailty assessments, such as the IMWG frailty score, in tailoring treatments. The objective is to develop a working model tailored to the Quebec context. A meeting on May 7, 2024 brought together experts to discuss improving access to GA and developing strategies for implementing geriatric management tools. Unmet needs include the lack of standardized screening tools, limited access to specialized geriatric oncology services, and inconsistent treatment approaches. Personalized care is critical in addressing frailty, comorbidities, patient preference, and functional status. Results: This report proposes a structured referral pathway involving age-based triaging and criteria for geriatric consultation. Multidisciplinary teams, including geriatricians, are essential for optimizing care and improving outcomes, with a focus on quality of life and effective therapies. Standardized practices and collaborative approaches are vital for addressing the complexities of MM in this vulnerable population.
