Abstract
BACKGROUND: One constant and relatively unchanged aspect of treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) is the use of glucocorticosteroids, or steroids, which can cause a wide range of adverse side effects and harm patients' quality of life. . OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to provide updated recommendations on the management of steroid-associated side effects in patients with MM. . METHODS: A study of steroid-associated side effects in MM treatment regimens was reviewed to provide updated recommendations to healthcare professionals. FINDINGS: Identifying the side effects of steroids and managing them promptly contribute to the success of steroid-containing regimens for patients with MM.
