Multiple Myeloma – Diagnosis and Treatment

Combination Drug Therapy

Combination drug therapy is the first-line treatment for multiple myeloma. It is also known as induction therapy thanks to the induction of remission over time. Depending on your conditions and stages, the doctor would suggest a variety of drug regimens. The main benefit of this treatment is that it would have more effects on the cancerous cells as well as reduce the risks of drug resistance. The reason is simple: when cancerous cells resist one drug, the other ones would keep them under control. [10]
