Supportive care significantly improves quality of life and survival for multiple myeloma (MM) patients. This review details managing common toxicities like bone disease, infection, and fatigue in MM.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Patient Care
Background:
- Multiple myeloma (MM) treatment presents significant challenges.
- Patient quality of life and survival are heavily influenced by supportive care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current best practices for managing toxicities in multiple myeloma patients.
- To provide a practical approach to mitigate common MM-related complications.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on supportive care strategies for MM.
- Synthesis of evidence-based approaches for managing specific toxicities.
Main Results:
- Identified key toxicities: bone disease, thrombosis, infection risk, neuropathy, skin, GI, ocular issues, and fatigue.
- Outlined practical management strategies for each toxicity.
Conclusions:
- Effective supportive care is crucial for optimizing outcomes in multiple myeloma.
- Proactive management of treatment and disease-related toxicities improves patient survival and quality of life.
