How I treat smoldering multiple myeloma.
Smoldering myeloma is a heterogeneous clinical entity where a subset of patients has an indolent course of disease that mimics monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance, whereas others have a more aggressive course that has been described as "early myeloma." It is defined as either serum M-protein ≥ 3 g/L or ≥ 10% monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. There are currently no molecul...
متن کاملMyelodysplasia-associated immunophenotypic alterations of bone marrow cells in myeloma: are they present at diagnosis or are they induced by lenalidomide?
Increased risk of acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndromes following treatment has been reported in multiple myeloma, but whether dysplastic features are already present at diagnosis remains to be investigated. Using multiparameter flow cytometry, we analyzed the distribution and phenotype of bone marrow hematopoietic cells from 47 multiple myeloma patients (15 symptomatic and 32 high-r...
متن کاملSmoldering multiple myeloma: pathophysiologic insights, novel diagnostics, clinical risk models, and treatment strategies.
Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is a plasma cell disorder first described in 1980 when 6 patients were observed to meet the diagnostic criteria of multiple myeloma, defined as bone marrow plasmacytosis of 10% or greater or M protein level of 3 g/dL or greater, but did not have end-organ damage. Subsequent studies showed that the cumulative risk of SMM progression to symptomatic myeloma in 15 ...
متن کاملNovel therapies delay the progression of smoldering multiple myeloma: Case report and discussion
This clinical vignette illustrates how our therapeutic approaches to early stages of multiple myeloma have changed over the past decade with novel therapies reducing disease and preventing disease progression. Recent paradigms of multiple myeloma describe the disease as a spectrum of clinical stages, including asymptomatic 'smoldering' states that progress to symptomatic states. The average 5-y...
متن کاملGenomic analysis of high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.
Smoldering myeloma is an asymptomatic plasma cell dyscrasia with a heterogeneous propensity to progress to active myeloma. In order to investigate the biology of smoldering myeloma patients with high risk of progression, we analyzed the genomic characteristics by FISH, SNP-arrays and gene expression profile of a group of patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma included in a multicenter rando...
