XGEVA® is a prescription medicine used to prevent fracture, spinal cord compression, or the need for radiation or surgery to bone in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors.
Multiple myeloma can cause “weak spots”—also called lesions (pronounced LEE•shuns)—in your bones. This can lead to serious bone problems* like fractures, the need for surgery to bones, the need for radiation treatments to the bones, and spinal cord compression.1-3
Usually, the body is constantly breaking down and rebuilding bone. This helps keep bones strong.4,5
With multiple myeloma, the breaking down and rebuilding of bones are not balanced due to abnormal signals from cancer cells.1,4
Over time, this can cause weak spots in the bones and can lead to serious bone problems.1,4
