Dr. Ruben Niesvizky, Dr. Adriana Rossi and Karen Pekle, NP, healthcare professionals at the Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Myeloma Center, discuss the important role steroids play in myeloma treatment, as well as how to overcome some of the common steroid side effects.

Steroids have the ability to stop white blood cells from traveling to areas where cancerous myeloma cells are causing damage. This decreases the swelling and inflammation in those areas, relieving associated pain and pressure.

Many patients ask why steroids are important and how they can overcome common side effects. Our experts weigh in and share some tips.
