00:02Multiple myeloma is a malignant disease of plasma cells in the bone marrow and is the second most common hematological cancer.
00:35Common signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma include back pain, respiratory tract infections, anemia, renal failure, fractures, and dehydration.
01:57Diagnostic tests for multiple myeloma include blood and urine tests, bone marrow biopsy, X-rays, and CT scans.
05:02The pathophysiology of multiple myeloma involves the interaction between cancerous cells and bone marrow stromal cells, leading to bone destruction and abnormal antibody production.
08:05Multiple myeloma can be diagnosed based on the presence of monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow, monoclonal antibodies in the serum or urine, and specific clinical criteria (hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, lytic bone lesions).
09:05Treatment options for multiple myeloma include chemotherapy and radiotherapy to target the neoplastic plasma cells.
09:47Regular monitoring and follow-up are important for managing multiple myeloma and adjusting treatment as needed.
