Discussing specific patient cases, providing the rationale for the treatment choices based on expert experience and recent data from trials, and outlining strategies to provide adequate supportive care will assist clinicians treating transplant ineligible and elderly patients with multiple myeloma in making optimal treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes.

With improvement in treatment options and supportive care, patients with MM are living longer. The majority of patients with MM are at risk for both osteolytic bone lesions and osteoporosis.

The heterogeneity of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) and an increasing number of therapeutic options in this setting has resulted in a complex environment for treatment decisions. Multiple factors need to be considered when determining the next best therapy.

The introduction of new treatment options in multiple myeloma (MM) has led to marked improvements in overall outcomes of patients.

The NCCN Guidelines for Multiple Myeloma provide recommendations for diagnosis, workup, treatment, follow-up, and supportive care for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance, solitary plasmacytoma, smoldering myeloma, and multiple myeloma.

Clinicians need to be aware of the range of factors involved in managing the treatment and supportive care of patients with multiple myeloma.  It is important for clinicians to discuss practical patient examples and the rationale for the various treatment choices based on expert experience and recent data from trials to aid the decision-making process for clinicians treating patients with myeloma.
