Article Synopsis
- Multiple myeloma (MM) presents complex symptoms that require comprehensive management, and palliative care (PC) plays a crucial role in meeting patients' physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs, though it is underutilized in MM treatment.
- A study of 22 MM patients in a palliative care unit found that the most common admission reasons were nutritional issues (82%), fatigue (77%), and pain (68%), with a significant portion dying during their stay.
- Results showed that while hospital stays varied, there was a notable reduction in symptom severity, highlighting the effectiveness of PC interventions in improving patients' quality of life through a multidimensional approach.
