Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer that affects plasma B cells. Patients with MM often experience frequent relapses and can develop resistance to drugs. As a medical researcher, it is important to understand the role of Mcl-1 in preventing intrinsic apoptosis and drug resistance. Mcl-1 belongs to the anti-apoptotic subgroup of Bcl-2 family proteins and plays a crucial role in these processes. Mcl-1 plays a crucial role in driving disease progression and contributing to drug resistance in MM. It has been observed that there is an increased expression of Mcl-1 in 52% of patients with MM during diagnosis, …

Introduction
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells, which is a white blood cell that normally produces antibodies
- Treatment in patients younger than 65 years old is typically high dose chemotherapy, usually with bortezomib based regimens or lenalidomide dexamethasone, followed by a stem cell transplant
- For patients with relapsed myeloma, carfilzomib is usually the treatment of choice
- Carfilzomib is a highly selective, irreversible proteasome inhibitor that binds to the 20 S proteasome. Several studies have illustrated that carfilzomib has been associated with cardiovascular adverse events (CVAE).
- Current literature on the role and effect of bortezomib on cardiotoxicity is …
