Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy arisen from the abnormal proliferation of clonal plasma cells. It has a high risk of developing bleeding and thrombotic complications, which are related to poor prognosis and decreased survival. Multiple factors are involved in the breaking of the hemostasis balance, including disease specific factors, patient-specific factors, and drug factors that change pro-and anticoagulant and fibrinolysis. Recently, with the introduction of new treatments such as monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor modified T-cell therapy, antibody-drug conjugates directed against BCMA, programmed death-1 inhibitor, export protein 1 inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors and Bcl-2 inhibitors, the therapy of MM patients has entered into a new era. Furthermore, it arouses a question whether these new treatments would alter the hemostasis balance in MM patients, which highlights the importance of the underlying pathophysiology of hemostasis abnormalities in MM, and on prophylaxis approaches. In this review, we updated the mechanisms of hemostasis abnormalities in MM, the impact of the new drugs on hemostasis balance and reliable therapeutic strategies.
