Talidomida e mieloma múltiplo: verificação dos efeitos terapêuticos através de parâmetros clínico e laboratoriais

Abstract: Nas duas últimas décadas, houve uma mudança radical na terapia e na evolução do mieloma múltiplo(MM), neoplasia hematológica ainda considerada fatal. As pesquisas e investimentos em medicamentos que interferem com a fisiopatogenia e com o microambiente medular estão permitindo o controle e a regressão do clone plasmocitário maligno, mudando as perspectivas da doença. A idéia nova de usar uma droga velha, a talidomida, tem-se mostrado efetiva no MM. Em 1997, apostando nos efeitos imunomoduladores e antiangiogên… Show more

“…Several strategies can be applied to patients with multiple myeloma to minimize the disease's complications (MELO et al, 2005). Significant advances include the prevention and treatment of hypercalcemia and bone injuries, pain control, and, in some cases, a decrease in the incidence of pathological fractures (BITTENCOURT et al, 2004;ACQUAH et al, 2019). In the evolution of multiple myeloma, neoplastic lesions are initially restricted to bone and bone marrow, with late extramedullary involvement; this behavior reflects the natural history of B-cell neoplasia, with preliminary involvement of lymph nodes and bone marrow and subsequent dissemination to other organs and skin (SOUSA et al, 2019).…”

“…Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease characterized by spinal cord infiltration with plasmocytes derived from an anomalous clone, supported by prominent angiogenesis (SALEMA; DE CARVALHO, 2019;SOUSA et al, 2020), which is anchored in growthstimulating factors of the endothelium and fibroblasts, associated with the action of adhesion molecules, interleukins (IL), factors boosting the growth of granulocytes and monocytes and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (BITTENCOURT et al, 2004).…”
