Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a precancerous plasma cell abnormality that could eventually develop into lymphoma, multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Multiple myeloma, on the other hand, is a rare blood cancer that develops in plasma cells in the bone marrow. Because it upsets the balance between bone-degrading and bone-forming cells, this type of cancer triggers the breakdown of bones while hindering bone repair and formation.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 36 patients with MGUS and smoldering multiple myeloma, researchers found that treatment with curcumin for three months helped decelerate the progression of both diseases. Multiple studies have shown that curcumin not only inhibits the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells, but it also suppresses the formation of bone-degrading cells. This dual action of curcumin is certainly beneficial for patients with multiple myeloma.
