Comprehensive Cancer Center Freiburg - CCCF

Center for Multiple Myeloma

Dear patients!

Multiple Myeloma is the second most common blood cancer disease in adults. The risk of developing the disease increases with increasing age. The median age of onset is 70 years. Multiple myeloma significantly impairs quality of life through bone pain, organ dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Treatment therefore requires interdisciplinary collaboration. Patients today have the chance to live well with the disease.

Diagnosis, Treatment, & Trials

We strive to provide a directed diagnosis and therapy, which we discuss in our multiple myeloma board with internists, radiologists, orthopedists, radiotherapists, pathologists, biologists, and other specialists. The standard methods for treating multiple myeloma are chemotherapy, genetic therapy, and radiation therapy. For patients of up to around 70 years, chemotherapy is usually followed by a stem cell transplantation (in German). Our treatment endeavors to achieve a good balance between response to therapy and maintenance of quality of life. Very many of our patients experience a complete remission that lasts for years. A tightly knit regimen of follow-up examinations after therapy is absolutely essential.

Trials

Around one-third of our patients participate in trials on the development of new therapies and maintenance of quality of life.
