Note: *Written by a researcher and clinician at a very technical level. For example, this sentence in the chapter on supportive care, section on fatigue gives a typical sample of the reading level:
"Anemia in myeloma is probably multifactorial, in newly diagnosed patients it is mainly due to inadequate erythropoeitin (EPO) production related to the inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor."
