Shall we treat smoldering multiple myeloma in the near future?

Abstract: In recent years, several new drugs have been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Many of these newer drugs are highly efficacious and less toxic than older chemotherapy drugs. In 2014, the diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma were revised. The intent with the new criteria was to identify patients who require therapy at an earlier stage than at manifestation of organ complications. A subset of patients who were previously defined as having high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma was redefined as h… Show more

“…These cells often secrete large amounts of monoclonal Ig into the blood. This leads to a loss of structural integrity of the bone resulting in increased risk of bone fracture, as well as kidney damage due to the accumulation of monoclonal Ig deposits (70). In a study utilizing human MM cells, doxorubicin was used to model genotoxic stress.…”

“…The cumulative probability of progression from SMM to MM is 73% at 15 years. 5 There is debate as to whether SMM is a condition to be treated as an early stage of MM 6 or simply observed, as with MGUS. To date, neither genomic sequencing nor expression profiling have identified a molecular predictor for patients with SMM who progress to MM.…”
