Treatment for myelomas often includes a combination of therapies tailored to the individual patient. Common treatment options include:
- Chemotherapy: Utilizes drugs to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. - Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific molecules involved in the growth and survival of myeloma cells. - Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune system to fight the cancer. - Stem Cell Transplant: Replaces diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. - Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells.
