M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

A stem cell transplant is not always necessary for multiple myeloma, but it can be an important treatment for some patients. It is usually considered if you are fit enough and the disease is responsive to initial therapy, as it can help control the disease longer. Your doctor will decide based on your age, overall health, disease stage, and response to other treatments. Even without a transplant, multiple myeloma can often be managed with medications and supportive care.
