Question 5

what is the most recommended drug treatment for myleoma

Accepted Answer

Many good ones: Recommended drugs are used in combination regimens and not as single drugs typically. Standard new options include velcade, revlimid, (lenalidomide) steroids and older drugs such as Melphalan and thalomid. Also regimens depend on whether patients are going to go onto transplant or not. The combinations involving the newer drugs are preferred because of better response rates.
