Markers of high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma?

by Spatlese on Wed Aug 10, 2016 1:41 pm

My husband is newly diag­nosed. It has not yet been determined whether he has smolder­ing multiple myeloma or active (symptomatic) multiple myeloma, but I am trying to educate myself as much as possible in regard to this disease.

What are the markers that denote high risk smoldering multiple myeloma?

Hi,

This thread here in the forum,

"Review article - smoldering multiple myeloma" (May 27, 2015)

has some tables that summarize some of the markers currently thought to signify smoldering myeloma that is at a higher risk of progression to active disease.

Good luck!

JimNY
