Abstract

A young man presented with overt multiple myeloma at the age of 28, and received cyclophosphamide pulses every 3-4 weeks for more than 3 years. He has remained in continuous complete remission for the past 23 years without further treatment and without evidence of disease. Five cases of multiple myeloma cured by conventional chemotherapy reported in literature are reviewed here.
