Clinical Information
Multiple myeloma is increasingly recognized as a disease characterized by marked cytogenetic, molecular, and proliferative heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is manifested clinically by varying degrees of disease aggressiveness. Multiple myeloma patients with more aggressive disease experience suboptimal responses to some therapeutic approaches; therefore, identifying these patients is critically important for selecting appropriate treatment options.
Mayo Algorithmic Approach for Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy (MSMRT) classifies patients into either standard or high-risk categories based on the results of 2 assays: plasma cell proliferation and fluorescence in situ hybridization for specific multiple myeloma-associated abnormalities.
