Is there a cure for multiple myeloma?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Conventionally we call myeloma an incurable cancer. However we are seeing survival rates increasing. Now pts out 10 years are not that uncommon (ash 2009 - curability of multiple myeloma - delasalle et al.) "conclusions: assuming that prolonged cr for more than 10 years translates into potential cure, we calculated a "cure fraction" of 2% for patients treated between 1987 -1997.".

No: However, remission is possible in many cases and many patients can live fairly normal lives for quite some time with the many new advances in this disease.
