| Abstract: | Multiple myeloma is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cells involving bone and bone marrow, frequently leading to extensive skeletal destruction, bone marrow failure, renal dysfunction, and problems related to the monoclonal myeloma proteins. Vigilant supportive care and effective chemotherapy can prolong survival and improve the quality of life in most patients. |
