Multiple Myeloma Treatment
The Nebraska Medical Center is known nationally for being a leading multiple myeloma treatment center, offering pain management therapy, blood and marrow transplantation and surgical options for comprehensive multiple myeloma treatment. No two patients are the same and physicians at the medical center work together as a collaborative team to develop individual treatment plans for every patient.
Multiple Myeloma is a cancerous bone disease which affects certain white blood cells called plasma cells for which there is no known cure. Symptoms include holes in the bone and can lead to severe pain, fractures and weakness. Often these symptoms resemble other bone diseases. Test such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone marrow biopsy can be used to diagnose multiple myeloma. Advanced multiple myeloma treatment options are available and may include medications, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and blood and marrow transplantation.
