abstract：:The standard treatment of multiple myeloma is systemic chemotherapy. Despite 30 years of drug development in myeloma, there are no new drug regimens significantly superior to melphalan and prednisone. In addition, phase II studies of new drugs in myeloma have been disappointing, with low response rates and no prolonga...
