Is there a Cure for Multiple Myeloma? | Norton Cancer Institute

Dr. Don A. Stevens, M.D., at Norton Cancer Institute helps us gain a better understanding about what type of cancer Multiple Myeloma is- how it's detected and treated and the best options for your targeted therapies.

Multiple myeloma, cancer formed throughout the body by malignant plasma cells in bone marrow, is a relatively uncommon cancer affecting roughly 26,000 U.S. men and women each year. Though there is currently not a cure for the disease, today’s treatments are effective in managing the symptoms and extending life expectancy substantially.

Norton Cancer Institute provides a full range of myeloma treatment options for the Louisville, Western Kentucky and Southern Indiana communities we’re privileged to serve. That includes access to innovative clinical trials featuring promising new therapies, as well as extensive cancer support services and resources to empower you and your loved ones, wherever you are in the journey.
