Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma arises from abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow.

These cells multiply uncontrollably, disrupting normal blood formation and damaging bones.

Advances in immunotherapy and stem cell transplant have improved long-term outcomes.

Overview And Clinical Background

This malignancy involves overproduction of a single type of antibody-producing plasma cell.

It causes bone lesions, anemia, and increased infection risk.

Origin:From malignant transformation of plasma cells.
Effect:Leads to abnormal protein (M protein) production.
Complication:Results in bone fragility and kidney strain.

Symptoms, Signs And Presentation

Patients often present with bone pain, fatigue, and recurrent infections.

Kidney issues and anemia are frequent findings.

Bone pain:Especially in back or ribs due to lesions.
Anemia:Leads to persistent tiredness.
Infections:Immunity suppression increases susceptibility.

Diagnosis Methods And Investigations

Imaging And Laboratory Tests

Diagnosis relies on bone marrow biopsy, protein electrophoresis, and imaging for bone damage.

Blood tests:Detect abnormal antibodies (M protein).
Bone marrow biopsy:Confirms plasma cell proliferation.
MRI/CT scan:Reveals bone lesions and fractures.

Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques

Treatment includes targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and stem cell transplantation.

Modern drugs enhance survival significantly.

Chemotherapy:Controls plasma cell growth.
Stem cell transplant:Restores healthy bone marrow.
Immunotherapy:Harnesses immune system to attack cancer cells.

Recovery, Risks And Prognosis

While incurable, multiple myeloma can be managed for years with proper therapy and monitoring.
