Introduction: Challenges remain in reducing antigen escape and tumor recurrence while CAR-T cell therapy has substantially improved outcomes in the treatment of multiple myeloma. T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC)-T cells, which utilize intact T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex to eliminate tumor cells in a non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted manner, represent a promising strategy. Moreover, interleukin-7 (IL-7) is known to enhance the proliferation and survival of T cells.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex hematological malignancy of clonal plasma cells driven by alterations to the chromosomal material leading to uncontrolled proliferation in the bone marrow. Ethnic and racial disparities persist in the prevalence, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of MM. These disparities are multifaceted and intersect with various factors, including demographics, geography, socioeconomic status, genetics, and access to healthcare.

Article Synopsis
  • Light-chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a rare type of cancer involving plasma cells, often related to kidney issues and bone damage, but cases presenting as bone tumors are uncommon.
  • A 63-year-old male presented with rib pain, and imaging revealed an isolated tumor in his eighth rib along with multiple lytic bone lesions elsewhere, which were confirmed to be caused by plasma cells producing kappa light chains.
  • Treatment with daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone led to notable improvement, highlighting the diagnostic challenges of LCMM and the need to consider it in bone tumor evaluations.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to track symptom severity in multiple myeloma (MM) patients during 16 weeks of induction therapy and identify factors that predict high symptom burden, which are often overlooked in clinical settings.
  • - Researchers used a symptom inventory to categorize patients into groups with persistently high or low symptom severity, finding that severe symptoms included pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue, affecting patients' quality of life and emotional well-being.
  • - Results indicated that 31% of patients experienced high-severity symptoms, with factors like baseline symptom scores and being female linked to worse outcomes, highlighting the need for better monitoring and support during therapy.
