Considerations

It is a case of multiple myeloma in advanced phase at the time of the diagnosis.

The case was documented in three highly qualified hospitals. Complete documentation is available. The therapy followed is known in details.

 

Cytostatic treatment

In both cases only a single session was performed.

 

Radiotherapy treatments

 

Di Bella Multitherapy

The therapy was gradually reduced. From the end of 1992 he suspended the cyclophosphamide and the somatostatin. Currently the therapy consists in:
