Multiple Myeloma (MM) Treatment in India

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer which arises from plasma cells. Plasma cells are a type of cell normally present in the bone marrow and blood in small numbers. Their function is to produce antibodies that fight against infections. When these cells start dividing uncontrollably and spread abnormally in the body, it leads to the disease called multiple myeloma.

    What age group is multiple myeloma commonly seen in?

    Multiple myeloma is a disease of the elderly age group. Generally it is only seen above the age of 50 years.

    Symptoms of Multiple Myeloma?

    Signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma may vary from individual to individual and they may include:

    • Bone disorders

    • Parched
    • Unexplained weight loss
    • Loss of appetite
    • Weakness in your legs
    • Constipation
    • Nausea
    • Confusion

    The cause of Multiple Myeloma?

    The main cause of multiple myeloma is still unknown. However, studies show that multiple myeloma begins as a benign condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).
    If there is a presence of M proteins released by abnormal plasma cells in your blood, it confirms the diagnosis of MGUS like multiple myeloma. While the levels of M proteins are lower in a condition like MGUS, it is unlikely to be higher in multiple myeloma.
    Nevertheless, MGUS and multiple myeloma are highly related. If you have MGUS, then there are higher chances of multiple myeloma as well.

    Multiple Myeloma Treatment in India?

    After confirming the diagnosis through various diagnostic tests and procedures including blood tests, urine tests, bone marrow biopsy, and imaging tests, doctors also evaluate the stage and severity of the disease. Once the confirmation is done, doctors proceed towards choosing appropriate treatment options which could include as follows:
    Targeted Therapy: Targeted drug treatments precisely identify and target particular weaknesses within the cancerous cells to kill them.

    Chemotherapy: This treatment uses anti-cancer drugs to kill cancerous cells. Doctors usually perform this treatment in combination with surgical procedures. The procedure involves high doses of chemotherapy drugs to destroy cancerous cells.

    Radiation Therapy: In this procedure, radiologists use highly energized beams from X-rays or protons to destroy cancerous cells. It is used for shrinking tumors in a particular area causing pain or bone disorders.

    Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy uses substances to improve the immune system to fight against cancer. It boosts the body’s natural defenses to identify and kill cancer cells.
    Bone Marrow Transplant: It is a surgical procedure that replaces diseased bone marrow with a healthy one from a donor. Before the actual procedure, the doctor extracts the remaining healthy blood-forming cells from the blood and performs chemotherapy to destroy the diseased ones.
    Afterward, the doctor infuses the healthy cells into the blood and then they travel towards the bones to reform the bone marrow.
    The cost of bone marrow transplants in India starts from 13,000 USD and goes up to 28,000 USD depending on the type of transplant – autologous or allogeneic.
