Surgical treatment for bone multiple myeloma relieved pain and improved neurological function in patients. This approach may be beneficial in select cases, despite a low rate of local recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Hematologic Oncology
Context:
- Multiple myeloma can affect the bone, leading to pain and neurological deficits.
- Surgical intervention is considered for palliative and reconstructive purposes in these cases.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the indications, surgical approaches, and outcomes of treating bone multiple myeloma.
- To assess pain relief, neurological improvement, quality of life, and survival post-surgery.
Summary:
- Twenty-nine patients with bone multiple myeloma underwent surgical treatment between 1997 and 2002.
- Surgical procedures included tumor resection, stabilization, endoprosthetic replacement, and fracture fixation.
- All patients experienced pain relief, and neurological function improved post-operatively, with three cases of local recurrence.
Impact:
- Surgical treatment can effectively alleviate symptoms associated with bone multiple myeloma.
- The findings suggest that surgical intervention can be a rewarding option for select patients with multiple myeloma affecting the bone.
