Frequently asked questions
Can myeloma be cured?+
In most cases myeloma is a chronic disease rather than a curable one, but many patients live 10+ years with excellent quality of life on modern treatment.
Do I need a bone marrow transplant?+
Autologous stem cell transplant is standard for fit patients and significantly deepens remission. We evaluate each patient individually.
