Hematology: first-line bortezomib benefits patients with multiple myeloma

Meletios A Dimopoulos et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

Bortezomib-based regimens are beneficial in the treatment of patients with symptomatic, newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. researchers who investigated the efficacy and safety of single-agent bortezomib as first-line therapy in patients with myeloma have particularly emphasized the incidence and management of peripheral neuropathy, which is the most common adverse effect of bortezomib administration.
