Summary of the Study
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by genetic instability and abnormal DNA repair activity, contributing to oncogenesis, treatment response, and resistance. This review synthesizes current understanding of:
- The role of DNA repair pathways in MM pathophysiology
- How primary translocations and disease progression involve genomic instability
- The impact of therapeutic agents like Melphalan and Bortezomib on DNA repair
- Opportunities for therapeutically targeting DNA repair machinery in MM
Improved insights into these processes may help identify synthetic lethal interactions and refine treatment strategies.
In this study, Alboukadel Kassambara contributed to the writing of the review, synthesizing key literature on DNA repair pathways in multiple myeloma and their implications for targeted therapy.
