Multiple myeloma is a clonal B cell malignancy characterized by the accumulation of terminally differentiated, antibody-producing plasma cells in the bone marrow. Genetic mutations within the myeloma cells and their interaction with various cytokines and growth factors contribute to the invasiveness of the disease and enhanced drug resistance. Patients are generally asymptomatic until very late state disease. Once disease is detected, localization in the bones, especially the spine, is common. Currently, the gold standard therapy is a combination of doxorubicin and dexamethasone with bortezomib. The addition of bortezomib improves the overall response rate close to 50%.1
