Latest Research : Cancer : Blood : Multiple Myeloma
Predicting response of treatment in Multiple Myeloma patients
Researchers at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, in cooperation with industry partners, have, for the first time, identified tumor specific alterations in the cellular pathway by which the multiple myeloma drug bortezomib (Velcade) works, and they have identified nine new genetic mutations in cancer cells that should increase a patient's chance of responding to the agent.The investigators say these findings, presented Sunday, Dec. 10, at the 2006 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in Orlando, may help physicians tailor treatment to patients with multiple myleoma, a difficult-to-treat cancer of plasma cells that is the second most common blood cancer in the United States.
