What is Multiple Myeloma? Multiple Myeloma, also known as Kahler's disease, is cancer in plasma cells. The plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that is found in the bone marrow. Multiple Myeloma causes the development of cancer cells in the bone marrow. These cancer cells produce abnormal proteins that block out healthy blood cells and antibodies causing complications. Treatments methods for Multiple Myeloma in India  There are a number of diagnostic advancements that have taken place for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma in India. In the previous years bone marrow test, serum test electrophoresis, and the best method used were immunofixation electrophoresis. The advancement that took place in recent years has helped immensely to get effective diagnostic results for multiple myeloma patients.  By doing diagnostic tests like electrophoresis and serum-free light chain, It is easy to find the symptoms of Multiple Myeloma patients. In case of higher degree of sensitivity, PET s

Multiple myeloma means the excess and abnormal production of Plasma cells in the bone marrow. This disease causes a decreased level of immunoglobulin level.  Lenalidomide for multiple myeloma is an immunomodulating drug that has an antitumor and anti-inflammatory effect. It works by triggering the apoptosis of drug-resistant multiple Myeloma cells and by inhibiting the binding of multiple Myeloma cells to bone marrow.  Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid drug that is used for the treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma. It works by inhibiting the white blood cell from cancerous Myeloma cells to other parts of the body leading to a reduction in swelling and inflammation in the body. Lenalidomide 25 mg along with dexamethasone have more important anti-multiple myeloma properties. This combined drug is approved by the FDA for multiple myeloma relapsing therapy after prior therapy. This combination of drugs improves the extent of response and overall survival rate. Some common side effects
