Multiple Myeloma (MM)

First described in 1844 * Sarah Newbury* Dr. Samuel Solly

Plasma cell (PC)

* Bone Marrow

Page 3: Osnat Ashur-Fabian 1,Keren Cohen 1,Aleck Hercbergs 2,Martin Ellis 1 1 Translational Hemato-Oncology, The Hematology Institute, Meir Medical Center & Sackler.

Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Plasma cells * Antibodies (Ab) producing cells

Plasma cell neoplasm * Abnormal plasma cells

proliferation * Excess Ab production * Bone damage, Kidney

Page 4: Osnat Ashur-Fabian 1,Keren Cohen 1,Aleck Hercbergs 2,Martin Ellis 1 1 Translational Hemato-Oncology, The Hematology Institute, Meir Medical Center & Sackler.

Multiple Myeloma (MM)

10% of hematological malignancies

Incurable

* Median survival 3-5 years

* Most patients refractory/relapse

Novel “targeted” therapies

Treatments

* Steroids/Chemotherapy

* Bone-marrow

transplantation

Bortezomib (Velcade)Proteasome inhibitorProteasome inhibitor

The concept

* 80% of proteins are destroyed by proteasome

system* Balanced degradation (cell cycle/anticancer proteins,

p53)

* Proteasome inhibition

* Promotes apoptosis

* Increased proteasome activity in multiple myeloma,

Bortezomib

* The first FDA approved proteasome inhibitor

* Dysregulated proteasome activity in cancer

Bortezomib in multuple myeloma

Preclinical and clinical trials in myeloma

bortezomib

* Inhibited proliferation

* Enhanced apoptosis

* Synergism with chemotherapies

Improved outcome

The problem

* Side effects

* Resistance Demand for discovery of new drugs/combination

Thyroid function and cancer

Cancer patients with hypothyroidism

* Increase sensitivity to chemotherapy

* Increased sensitivity to radiation therapy

* Prolonged survival

Official consensus statement- Cleveland Clinic, USA

* Evidence for T3/4 involvement in cancer * No thyroid hormones supplements in subclinical hypothyroidism (Supported by “The American Thyroid Association”)

* Advocate conservatism in replacement therapy in hypothyroid patients who harbor a diagnosis of solid cancer

* Signed by hospital oncologist/endocrinologist
