Abstract
Multiple myeloma, a plasma-cell neoplasm characterized by skeletal destruction, renal failure, anemia, and hypercalcemia, remains incurable. However, recent advances in its treatment, in particular, the use of thalidomide and such new drugs as bortezomib and CC-5013, are promising. This article discusses current therapy for multiple myeloma.
