The lecture begins with a definition of multiple myeloma and a look at its epidemiology. The criteria for diagnosis is presented, followed by a description of its staging, which guides the aggresiveness of treatment. The lecture gives an overview of the diagnosis of multiple myeloma including its clinical symptoms, laboratory tests and imaging, followed by the spinal manifestation of the disease. The treatment of multiple myeloma with medication and surgery is covered, and finally the special considerations of the management of this disease are described.
