Abstract:
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is part of a spectrum of plasma cell disorders that may result in end organ damage. MM is subclassified into high and standard risk based on cytogenetic and laboratory markers. The treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma is constantly changing with the advent of novel therapies. Recent advances in therapies have resulted in longer time to remission and overall survival. the introduction of targeted therapy with monoclonal antibodies such as Daratumumab has improved stringent complete response to 39%. In this review, we outline the current approach to diagnosis, prognosis, and management of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in both transplant eligible and ineligible patients.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
