The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has undergone significant developments in recent years. The availability of the novel agents includes thalidomide and its analogs, proteasome inhibitors, arsenic trioxide, farnesyltransferase inhibitors 2-methoxyestradiol and lenalidomide has extended treatment options and has improved the outcome and quality of life of patients with MM. This review presents the totality of evidence through a systematic review that assessed the efficacy, safety or toxicity of bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma with or without concomitant complications. This review has precisely covered the role of bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma and not the newly detected populace.
