Myeloma treatment

Myelomas are malignant diseases of the plasma cells and thus of a part of the immune system. Many different types of these diseases with different clinical courses are known today. Thanks to successful clinical research, enormous progress has been made in the treatment of myeloma in recent years.

The diversity of these diseases and their numerous new treatment options require corresponding experience. For this reason, we treat myeloma patients several times a week in our special consultation hours and discuss the examination results at our interdisciplinary hemato-oncological tumor board in order to determine the best therapy in each case.

The therapeutic spectrum includes, among other things:

  • Modern targeted drug therapy such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulating substances and conventional chemotherapies, individually and in combination
  • Immunotherapies against surface structures of myeloma cells
  • High-dose therapies with subsequent autologous (patient’s own) blood stem cell transplantation
  • Allogeneic related or unrelated blood stem cell transplantation
