Excerpt: If there's one disease that most shows the effects of recent improvements in cancer treatment, it's multiple myeloma. Advances in biotechnology have enabled scientists to identify several genetic and chromosomal abnormalities underlying the disease, while fostering the development of more effective and less toxic drugs.
