- Immunotherapy: Medications that help the immune system fight abnormal cells.

- Stem Cell Transplantation:
- Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Healthy cells are removed before chemotherapy and reintroduced afterward to replace damaged cells.

- Organ Transplant Surgeries: May be necessary if advanced AL amyloidosis affects organs like the kidneys or heart.

The primary goals of these treatments are to:
