Background:
Radiotherapy (RT) is a well-established treatment modality in multiple myeloma (MM), particularly for skeletal-related events. However, its role is likely evolving with the introduction of modern systemic treatments.
Methods:
We conducted a retrospective analysis of a large, single-centre MM cohort treated with contemporary protocols to describe current patterns of RT use.
Results:
RT continues to offer clinical benefit, with shifting patterns of use observed compared to historical cohorts.
Conclusion:
RT remains relevant in the modern MM landscape and may hold increasing value in later treatment stages. We postulate a future role as bridging therapy prior to CAR-T/bispecific antibody treatment.
Trial Registration:
The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.

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...
