Patients with IgE multiple myeloma have poor prognosis. Due to the rarity of this condition, no standard treatment has been developed. As the VMP regimen (bortezomib plus melphalan and prednisone) has been reported to be highly effective in the treatment of other types of myeloma, we treated a patient with newly diagnosed IgE myeloma using the VMP regimen. Her myeloma responded well to VMP regimen. The results of this case report thus suggest that physicians may consider VMP regimen for use as the initial treatment for IgE myeloma.

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
