Prognostic Factors in Patients with Multiple Myeloma
نویسنده
چکیده
That is why the morphology of myeloma cells is one of the most important prognostic factors of the disease [4]. There are also other prognostic factors associated with both malignant cell characteristics and the status of the host's immunocompetent system [7]. Taking into account the data on the decrease in colony-forming units granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-OM) in MM [2, 11], an~ the antitumor effect of tumor necrOSIS factor alpha (TN Fa) [8, 9] and interleukin-2 (1L-2) [10], we investigated myeloma cell morphology, the level of serum P2-microglobulin (SP2-M) and CFU-OM, TNF production by peripheral blood monocytes, and IL-2 production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in different types ofMM course in order to determine their prognostic significance.

Introduction: Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous disease with different survival times among patients. Accurate prediction of prognosis in multiple myeloma is essential, as patients with a shorter survival time may require early bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and more advanced chemotherapy as a part of their first-line treatment. In the present study, a parameter, depicted by ga...

Background & Aims: Acute phase proteins are synthesized mainly by the liver and macrophages in an inflammatory conditions as a result of some trauma and malignancies. Increased levels of these proteins have been reported in many cancer tumors and multiple myeloma as an important indicator of prognosis of malignancies. Because of importance of this issue, we investigate the serum level ...
متن کاملRole of Suppressed Immunoglobulins in Outcome of Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) is typically presented with abundant monoclonal secretion of one type of immunoglobulin. The other classes of immunoglobulins, which are uninvolved and not secreted by malignant plasma cells, could be decreased. A number of previous studies reported the effect of suppression of uninvolved immunoglobulins on the outcome of patients with myeloma. However, its e...
