1 Multiple Myeloma with Pathologic Fracture: the Role and Treatment Consideration of RT Case Number: RT (M) Potential Audiences: Intent Doctor, Oncology Special Nurse, Resident Doctor Purpose: to present a case of multiple myeloma with pathology fracture post ORIF; to discuss the role and treatment consideration of RT. Scenario: You are radiotherapy (RT) Intent Doctor/Special Nurse/Resident Doctor, and you are assigned to evaluate the following patient before visiting of your RT attending physician. Please review the following description carefully; your RT attending physician will visit this patient later and discuss with you after your review. Case Presentation: This 58 year-old male patient, 蕭 OO, was referred to us for radiotherapy assessment of multiple myeloma with pathology fracture post ORIF. S: 1. He suffered from right lower limb sciatica and numbness for months. 2. In 2009/02, he suffered from the left humerus fracture. 3. On 2009/02/20, ORIF was done and pathology reported multiple myeloma. 4. On 2009/02/27, you visit this patient in the ward. Histories: NDKA; no major disease history; no prior RT Review of systems: right lower limb sciatica and numbness for several months; numbness sensation also noted, foot more than left more than the thigh; lower back pain also noted. O: 1. General Condition: ECOG, 1-2; ambulatory status; speech: OK 2. Physical Examinations: (1). HEENT & SCF: neg. (2). CHE: neg. (3). ABD: no tenderness (4). Back & Spine: mild knocking pain over the lower back (5). Extremities: the left upper humersus post ORIF with good healing; numbness over the right lower limb; muscle power 4-5 in the other three limbs (except the left upper limb). (6). Others: neg. 3. ***Pathology in 2009/02, humerus, tumor excision: multiple myeloma with pathology fracture; kappa (+), lambda (-), and EMA (-). 4. Images: (1). Bone scan in 2009/02: pathologic fracture to the left humerus; vertebral destruction to the L1 and L2, especially to the L2. (2). ABD CT in 2009/02: Multiple osteolytic lesions of left proximal humerus, multiple levels of the thoracolumbar spine, sacrum, and bilateral pelvis bones; A soft tissue nodule at right T6 paraspinal region (1.9*1.0 cm in size). (3). Plain X-film of the left shoulder in 2009/02: fracture in the left upper humerus shaft 5. Others: IgG, 8665 in 2009/02; BUN/Cr: 28/1.1 in 2009/02

Scenario: You are radiotherapy (RT) Intent Doctor/Special Nurse/Resident Doctor, and you are assigned to evaluate the following patient before visiting of your RT attending physician.
