Patient's question:
My father has been in good health for many years, but he has lost some weight in recent years and has difficulty walking. I took him for a thorough examination, and it was said that he suffers from multiple myeloma. This has been going on for a year, and medication is needed to relieve the pain. Can it still be cured?Doctor's answer:
Multiple myeloma is a type of lymphoma and a malignant tumor of the hematological system. It can manifest various clinical diagnostic symptoms such as bone pain, anemia, fever, and cachexia. Treatment methods include comprehensive evaluation measures such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplantation. Therefore, appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on the patient's condition, and it is recommended to return to the hematology department for follow-up and standardized treatment.
