NUS Medicine Inspire120 Professorial Lecture: The past, present and future of multiple myeloma NUS Medicine 2025-08-20 | Multiple myeloma, the world’s second most common blood cancer, was once considered incurable. Over the past two decades, however, advances in treatment – marked by the approval of over 10 new drugs – have more than doubled patient survival rates, with many now living beyond a decade after diagnosis. “The main challenge in treating multiple myeloma has been that the response to treatment does not last very long. Twenty years ago, the median survival was only 3 to 4 years. However, with improved treatments, remissions now last longer, and patients are living longer. Currently, remission rates for newly diagnosed myeloma with the treatments we provide are above 90%,” said Professor Chng Wee Joo, Yong Loo Lin Professor in Medical Oncology, NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, at the inaugural edition of the School’s Inspire120 Professorial Lectures, on 13 August 2025.
