Multiple Myeloma: More than One Pathophysiology to Induce Neurological Disorders

Abstract

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a high spread type of blood cancers, which means that a variety of consequences are more likely to occur. Neurological disorders are some of these consequences that deplete the patient’s capacity and productivity. Yet only a few scientific papers have addressed the mechanism aspect. Hence, our aim in this in this review is to discuss the pathophysiology of neurological complications due to MM will. To do this in a simplified manner, we have classified these diseases according to the mechanism that they are shared. We recommend that oncologists and hematologists in particular, and all physicians in general, take into account the discussed neuropathies, and accompany it in the process of making differential diagnoses. Moreover, identified concepts are suggested to form the the basis for choosing appropriate diagnostic and treatment plans.
