Summary

The purpose of this study is to create a prospective database of patients with myeloma affecting the spine. This database will define changes in health-related quality of life over time, and the effect of incident fractures and their treatment on specific measures of pain, physical function, pulmonary function, and future fractures. In 2008, the UCSF Myeloma Service was actively caring for 347 patients with myeloma, of which 150 patients had lytic lesions on radiographs, and 100 had a known vertebral fracture. This population, as well as any new myeloma patients, will serve as the source of the study population.
