Current pharmacological treatments for bone cancers like multiple myeloma have proven ineffective at healing bones or regenerating bone tissue. In this video, FRANZISKA JUNDT explores the extent to which physical stimuli and physical activity could represent effective treatment strategies for such conditions. 
*
Jundt explains how work with mice infected with tumor cells was followed up by a pilot clinical study on patients with a precursor condition to multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. 
*
The work demonstrates that physical stimuli can have anti-tumor effects and it provides a scientific basis for a targeted use of sports against bone cancer. Ongoing research will analyze how physical activity has an effect on bone at the genetic level.
