What does remission mean in multiple myeloma?

In multiple myeloma, remission refers to a period during which the signs and symptoms of the disease are reduced or disappear, often resulting from successful treatment. This can mean a significant decrease in the levels of abnormal proteins produced by myeloma cells, improved blood cell counts, and the absence of disease-related complications. Remission can be partial or complete, with complete remission indicating no detectable signs of the disease. However, remission does not imply a cure, as multiple myeloma can relapse after a period of remission.

What is smoldering multiple myeloma?

Smoldering multiple myeloma is a precursor condition to multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. In smoldering multiple myeloma, there are abnormal plasma cells present but they do not cause symptoms or organ damage. However, individuals with smoldering multiple myeloma are at a higher risk of developing active multiple myeloma, and close monitoring is required to detect any progression to the active disease. Treatment decisions for smoldering multiple myeloma are based on the risk of progression and may include observation or early intervention with therapy.

Is it true Multiple myolema is a cancer where plasma calls multiply abnormally in the bone marrow causing bone weakness?

Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow, causing them to multiply abnormally and crowd out healthy blood cells. One of the key characteristics of multiple myeloma is the weakened bones due to the excessive activity of these abnormal plasma cells. Treatment for multiple myeloma aims to control the disease, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life.
