Description

Jingyu Xu and co-authors trace twenty years of multiple myeloma care in China, setting their hospital's record beside a large United States database. The study covers 1,622 Chinese patients diagnosed between 2003 and 2023 and 12,582 American patients. New drug families have transformed this blood cancer's outlook worldwide, and the authors ask how fully that progress reached China.

Chinese patients were younger on average, 57 against 68, and their median figures reached 40.1 months without progression and 99.6 months of survival. Treatment modernised later than in the United States, shifting from plain chemotherapy to drug combinations, then sped up once new drugs entered national insurance. Stem cell transplants were used more in China overall but less in patients over 65. The authors credit real gains while flagging the older patients left behind.
