A presumptive diagnosis of bone metastasis can be easily made when a patient with a history of colorectal cancer develops bone lesions that are seen on follow-up imaging. In this case report, we describe a patient whose multiple bone lesions were wrongly attributed to a recurrence of rectal cancer rather than being identified as multiple myeloma lesions. When clinicians detect new, abnormal, bony lesions in a patient with a previous history of cancer, they should consider diseases such as multiple myeloma in their differential diagnosis.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has led to significant advances in the treatment of blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and now shows promise for solid tumors. This type of immunotherapy can achieve high response rates in patients with hematologic malignancies, but carries serious adverse reactions, including cytokine release syndrome and immune-effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. This article describes CAR T-cell therapy, guidance for primary care providers caring for patients undergoing therapy, and the ongoing need for research to enhance CAR T-cell therapy's safety and effectiveness.

Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation (ASTC) has proven efficacy in several hematological malignancies. The greatest antineoplastic effect achieved with intensified chemotherapy is associated with severe myelotoxicity. The infusion of autologous hematopoietic precursors and transfusion support during the period of aplasia reduces the time and depth of cytopenias, decreasing the risk of bleeding, anemia and life-threatening infections.

Most transplant-ineligible patients present with multiple myeloma (MM) refractory to lenalidomide and/or anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody at first relapse and represent a difficult-to-treat population. The Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome phase 2 study iberdomide, ixazomib and dexamethasone (I2D) evaluated the oral triplet iberdomide, ixazomib and dexamethasone in MM patients aged ≥70 years at first relapse (NCT04998786). Seventy patients were enrolled to receive iberdomide (1.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells and is currently incurable. Despite advancements in therapeutic strategies, resistance to proteasome inhibitors, particularly bortezomib (BTZ), poses a substantial challenge to disease management. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of boanmycin, a novel antitumor antibiotic, in overcoming resistance to BTZ in MM.
