Authors' recommendations:
The treatment of patients with relapsed multiple myeloma with bortezomib, lenalidomid or talidomide can prolong overall survival (6-9 months) and the time to progression to some extent, and result in a better tumour cell response in comparison to conventional corticosteroid therapy. The level of evidence is low with regard to survival and moderate with regard to tumour cell response.
Adverse effects are common and can be serious.The cost of treatment is high.
