Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by excessive production and improper function of plasma cells. This results in an abnormal high M protein or immunoglobulin protein which can result clinically in lytic lesions, anemia, renal dysfunction, and hypercalcemia. Multiple myeloma is not curable; however, there has been a rapid evolution of therapies in the past two decades, leading to an improvement in overall survival (OS).
