Mashup Score: 17Vincent Rajkumar: from Madras to Minnesota for myeloma - 10 hour(s) ago
Challenging assumptions seems to be in the blood of Vincent Rajkumar. Take his taste in music.

The Lancet automatically assumed that opera, classical, or perhaps jazz would figure heavily as the conversation turned to music. But then he drops the bombshell: “I’m a major Megadeth fan”.

A tenth of patients die within 60 days of diagnosis of MM. Infection and renal failure are the main direct causes of early mortality, which cannot be accurately predicted by presenting prognostic features. All patients should be considered at high risk of death during induction therapy.
