How is multiple myeloma treated at Moffitt Cancer Center?
Moffitt takes a multispecialty approach to multiple myeloma treatment that capitalizes on the expertise of hematopathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other professionals. Working hand-in-hand, our specialists collaborate to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient. This is key to successful multiple myeloma treatment, as this cancer can take multiple forms that respond differently to certain therapies. In general, though, many treatment plans include a combination of:
- Radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells in a specific area of the body with high-energy X-rays
- Chemotherapy to help stop the spread of cancer cells throughout the body
- Bone marrow transplantation through Moffitt’s Blood and Marrow Transplant and Cellular Immunotherapy Program
Moffitt also spearheads an ambitious clinical trial program to improve the way multiple myeloma and other hematologic malignancies are diagnosed and treated. Through this program, you can potentially receive the latest breakthroughs in treatment before they are made widely available.
