Thank you so much for,

Thank you so much for having me.

It's working.

Okay.

It's great to come out here to Hawaii.

It's beautiful.

I actually agreed to give this talk three years ago.

I'm glad it's been a good. Three years later, better late than never.

It's been a real treat to run into my old med school classmate, Yoshi Saito. We were classmates together. I haven't seen them 13 years.

So I'm going to talk to you all about how to keep up with the cancer literature. It isn't easy these days. It's a full-time job and then some. And by way of background, I have a hemong. People have been asking me what exactly do you do. I work at the same hospital as Don Abrams. In fact, I work in the same clinic. I do hematology there and I attend on service, hemenomk, and then I also do some work in the VA. And a lot of what you see is the work we do in epidemiology.

In terms of conflicts of interest, our research is funded by a nonprofit,

I do work on cancer pathways and royalties from other books and other things.

All right, this got started like so many, like so many talks with a case.

This is a real case presentation. I was in clinic in San Francisco General Hospital, and I was

taking care of a 65-year-old woman with multiple myeloma. She was 65 in multiple myeloma.

She was accompanied by her younger sister, a 60-year-old woman who was totally

healthy. And as is often the case in oncology, it's the family member that has the very

hard question. She said, Doctor, you know, I don't have multiple myeloma, unfortunately

my sister does. I'd hate to get it myself. So do you think I should increase the amount of exercise I do to avoid getting multiple myeloma?

I said, that's a good question. Okay, so let's the evidence for exercise and reducing incident

myeloma and a healthy person with a first degree affected relative.

I said, let me think about that a second. I'm going to answer this question.
