International Myeloma Working Group updated criteria for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: The disease definition of multiple myeloma is updated to include validated biomarkers in addition to existing requirements of attributable CRAB features (hypercalcaemia, renal failure, anaemia, and bone lesions), and specific metrics that new biomarkers should meet for inclusion in the disease definition are provided.

Multiple myeloma: 2020 update on diagnosis, risk-stratification and management.

TL;DR: Multiple myeloma accounts for approximately 10% of hematologic malignancies in the United States and is the second most common cancer in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple myeloma: 2016 update on diagnosis, risk-stratification, and management.

TL;DR: The diagnosis requires ≥10% clonal bone marrow plasma cells or a biopsy proven plasmacytoma plus evidence of one or more multiple myeloma defining events (MDE): CRAB, serum involved/uninvolved free light chain (FLC) ratio, or >1 focal lesion on magnetic resonance imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Follow-up of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance.

TL;DR: Overall survival was shorter among patients with MGUS than was expected in a matched control population and the presence of two adverse risk factors — namely, an abnormal serum free light‐chain ratio and a high serum monoclonal protein level — was associated with a risk of progression at 20 years.

Generalized Additive Models

TL;DR: The generalized additive model (GA) as discussed by the authors is a generalization of the generalized linear model, which replaces the linear model with a sum of smooth functions in an iterative procedure called local scoring algorithm.

Modeling Survival Data: Extending the Cox Model

TL;DR: A Cox Model-based approach was used to estimate the Survival and Hazard Functions and the results confirmed the need for further investigation into the role of natural disasters in shaping survival rates.

Criteria for the classification of monoclonal gammopathies, multiple myeloma and related disorders: a report of the International Myeloma Working Group

TL;DR: The International Myeloma Working Group has reviewed the criteria for diagnosis and classification with the aim of producing simple, easily used definitions based on routinely available investigations to facilitate comparison of therapeutic trial data.
