  • Objective To observe the efficiency and safety of thalidomide combined with dexamethasone in elderly patients with multiple myeloma. Methods A total of 50 elderly patients with multiple myeloma in initial treatment were administered thalidomide combined with dexamethasone. Thalidomide was administered at an initial dose of 50 mg once-daily orally followed by gradually increased in 50 mg according to patients' tolerance to a maximum of 200 mg once-daily orally, dexamethasone was administered at 20 mg once-daily IV in 1~4 d, 9~12 d and 17~20 d with 28 d as a course of treatment. The efficiency after 4 courses of treatment eva-luate was evauated. Results Complete remission were in 15 cases, immense partial remission in 12 cases, partial remission in 13 cases, no change in 5 cases and progression of disease in 5 cases. The total effective rate was 80%. During treatment, there were 17 patients suffering from hypersomnia, 16 onstipation, 16 lassitude, 10 increased blood sugar, 8 peripheral neuropathy and 3 rashes. All the patients could tolerant after expectant treatment. Conclusion It could be an effective method of thalidomide combined with dexamethasone in elderly patients with multiple myeloma.
