Presentation, treatment and clinical outcomes in young multiple myeloma patients treated at a tertiary care centre in a low middle-income country
This single-center study sheds light on younger MM patients' unique challenges and treatment patterns. Despite the rarity of this age group's affliction, the findings underscore significant differences in clinical presentations, treatment responses and outcomes compared to the typical elderly MM population. The study highlights the importance of tailored approaches in managing MM across different age brackets, emphasising the need for further research to optimise therapeutic strategies and improve prognosis in this distinct patient cohort.
