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. Myeloma protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myeloma_protein

   Serum protein electrophoresis showing a paraprotein (spike/peak in the gamma zone) in a patient with multiple myeloma.. A myeloma protein is an abnormal antibody (immunoglobulin) or (more often) a fragment thereof, such as an immunoglobulin light chain, that is produced in excess by an abnormal monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells, typically in multiple myeloma or Monoclonal gammopathy of ...

4. Minimal residual disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_residual_disease

   Targets: M-protein levels in blood, patient-specific assays for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes (high levels of somatic hypermutation often prevent this assay from reliably working). Uses: M-protein level in the blood is standard of care and is used for almost all patients with multiple myeloma. Patient-specific assays are still ...

5. Smouldering myeloma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smouldering_myeloma

   Smouldering myeloma is a disease classified as intermediate in a spectrum of step-wise progressive diseases termed plasma cell dyscrasias.In this spectrum of diseases, a clone of plasma cells secreting monoclonal paraprotein (also termed myeloma protein or M protein) causes the relatively benign disease of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

6. Hyperproteinemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperproteinemia

   Hyperproteinemia is the state of having overly high levels of protein in the blood. This can occur due to monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma and after intravenous immunoglobulin has been given. [1] It can result in a falsely low appearing sodium level (hyponatremia). [1]

7. Protein M - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_M

   Scientists identified the protein during investigations on the origin of multiple myeloma, a type of B-cell carcinoma. To understand the long-term M. genitalium infection, Rajesh Grover, a senior staff scientist in the Lerner laboratory, tested antibodies from the blood samples of patients with multiple myeloma against different Mycoplasma species.
