[Treatment of multiple myeloma]

A new era of multiple myeloma management includes new approaches such as genetic marking and gene therapy, immunotherapy, stimulation of graft versus myeloma effect, etc. Intensive clinical research is also focused on the detection of minimal residual disease and bone marrow purging. Clinical trials have begun and the first results are promising, though preliminary. The combinations of new types of therapeutical approaches with the most efficient regimens used until now could form a new type of MM management strategy that better involves minimal residual disease.
