Updated IMF Publication: "Understanding Bisphosphonate Therapy"

If you are a myeloma patient with bone disease (osteoporosis, lytic lesions, or even hypercalcemia), you will want to read our latest updated publication, "Understanding Bisphosphonate Therapy" This booklet is devoted to therapy that is given to patients with myeloma bone involvement. Approximately 80% of myeloma patients develop bone disease. Bisphosphonates help to prevent skeletal complications of myeloma. Treatment with bisphosphonates reduces bone damage and, when the myeloma is well controlled, allows bone healing to occur.
