Progress of immune senescence in multiple myeloma treatment resistance.

Abstract

Multiple myeloma has become the second most common hematologic malignancy threatening human health with the increasing incidence in the population, and the emergence of drug resistance in its treatment has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Recent studies have shown that the immune system is closely related to the development of multiple myeloma, and immune senescence plays an extremely critical role in MM treatment resistance. In this paper, we review the connection between immune senescence and the development of MM and its possible role in the drug resistance of MM treatment, to provide new research ideas for the in-depth study of the mechanism of immune senescence and the search for new immunotherapeutic targets to overcome the phenomenon of drug resistance in the immunotherapy of MM patients.
