More than a million people now live with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Europe. The
personal and societal burden of MS multiplies with increasing disability. The goal is
therefore to control inflammatory activity, prevent relapses and slow cumulative
disability.
In this webinar, we will highlight the burden of MS, discuss its earlier diagnosis, and
review the evidence for early treatment leading to better responses and a more
favorable course of illness. We also examine the use of biomarkers to monitor
prognosis and to anticipate treatment response and take a closer look at those with
MS who may require special attention.
