A member asked:
Is multiple myeloma is still not curable?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1 day hopefully not: One day, i'd like to quit saying that multiple myeloma is incurable disease, we have so many medication- biological chemo, transplantation that we can offer to treat this disease. Newer medication is more potent and able to give a very good response and increase survival of patient. However, for now we can't yet cure this disease. Allogeneic transplant would be the only thing that can cure myeloma.

Not curable: There are many treatments for multiple myeloma and the survival of patients with myeloma is much better than 10 years ago. But we still do not consider this a curable disease.
