Multiple Myeloma Drugs; Help Control Symptoms of MM and Improve Quality of Life
Multiple myeloma drugs are used for the treatment of multiple
myeloma, a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma
cell. Multiple myeloma (MM) is an uncommon cancer of the blood. Treatment for
multiple myeloma can help control symptoms and improve quality of life. But
myeloma usually can't be cured, which means additional treatment is needed when
the cancer comes back. While there is no cure for multiple myeloma, the cancer
can be managed successfully for years in many patients.

But even with great progress in survival duration and
quality of life during the past couple of decades, multiple myeloma remains a
disease without a definitive cure. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the white
blood cells, responsible for producing antibodies. Initially, no symptoms of
the disease are observed, but when it further advances, frequent infections, bone
pain, bleeding, and anemia may occur. Signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma (also
known as myeloma) can vary and, early in the disease, there may be none.
Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer. There's no cure,
but treatments can slow its spread and sometimes make symptoms go away. Multiple
myeloma is considered to be the third most common blood cancer followed by
lymphoma and leukemia. Thus, with the rise in prevalence of multiple myeloma,
the demand for multiple myeloma treatment is also increasing. Multiple myeloma
drugs, such as thalidomide, bortezomib, lenalidomide, panobinostat, pomalidomide,
carfilzomib, ixazomib, elotuzumab, and daratumumab have been approved in Japan.
Moreover, in December 2021, the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) granted the seventh approval to daratumumab for the
treatment of multiple myeloma. This injectable antibody is approved alone or in
combination with other drugs at different states of multiple myeloma treatment.
However, life expectancy depends on many factors, including the person's age,
health, kidney function, and more.
