  2. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    A 2016 study concluded that stem cell transplant is the preferred treatment for multiple myeloma. [107] There are two types of stem cell transplants to treat multiple myeloma. [108] In autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) – the patient's stem cells are collected from the patient's blood. The patient is given high-dose ...

  3. Smouldering myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smouldering_myeloma

    Treatment for multiple myeloma is focused on therapies that decrease the clonal plasma cell population and consequently decrease the signs and symptoms of disease. If the disease is completely asymptomatic (i.e. there is a paraprotein and an abnormal bone marrow population but no end-organ damage), as in smouldering myeloma, treatment is ...

    Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like imatinib have improved the prognosis of CML patients to near-normal life expectancy. [14] Recently, a JAK2 inhibitor, namely ruxolitinib, has been approved for use in primary myelofibrosis. [15] Trials of these inhibitors are in progress for the treatment of the other myeloproliferative neoplasms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POEMS_syndrome

    POEMS syndrome (also termed osteosclerotic myeloma, Crow–Fukase syndrome, Takatsuki disease, or PEP syndrome) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by a clone of aberrant plasma cells. The name POEMS is an acronym for some of the disease's major signs and symptoms ( p olyneuropathy , o rganomegaly , e ndocrinopathy , m yeloma protein , and ...

  6. AL amyloidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AL_amyloidosis

    AL amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of abnormal antibody free light chains. The abnormal light chains are produced by monoclonal plasma cells, and, although AL amyloidosis can occur without diagnosis of another disorder, it is often associated with other plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. [6]

  7. Myelodysplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    Low risk MDS (which is associated with favorable genetic variants, decreased myeloblastic cells [less than 5% blasts], less severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, or neutropenia or lower International Prognostic Scoring System scores) is associated with a life expectancy of 3–10 years. Whereas high risk MDS is associated with a life expectancy of ...

  8. Plasmacytoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmacytoma

    Most cases of SPB progress to multiple myeloma within 2–4 years of diagnosis, but the overall median survival for SPB is 7–12 years. 30–50% of extramedullary plasmacytoma cases progress to multiple myeloma with a median time of 1.5–2.5 years. 15–45% of SPB and 50–65% of extramedullary plasmacytoma are disease free after 10 years. [3]

    Without treatment, life expectancy is between six months and four years. [2] ... such as multiple myeloma or other immunocyte dyscrasias. Secondary (reactive ...
