Detection of Minimal Residual Disease by Flow Cytometry for Patients with Multiple Myeloma Submitted to Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The treatment strategy in multiple myeloma (MM) is to get complete remission followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Neoplastic Plasma Cells (NPCs) are CD45(-/dim), CD38(+high), CD138(+), CD19(-), and CD56(+high) in most cases. The description of this immunophenotype is of major importance as it leads to the correct identification of mi...
متن کاملMinimal residual disease in multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy in which abnormal, clonal plasma cells proliferate and accumulate in the bone marrow. These abnormal cells, referred to as myeloma cells, disrupt normal bone marrow function and invade bone. Myeloma cells produce and secrete significant quantities of monoclonal protein (M-protein) into the blood and/or urine.1 The clinical features of MM include hype...
متن کاملLenalidomide maintenance after stem-cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.
BACKGROUND High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation is a standard treatment for young patients with multiple myeloma. Residual disease is almost always present after transplantation and is responsible for relapse. This phase 3, placebo-controlled trial investigated the efficacy of lenalidomide maintenance therapy after transplantation. METHODS We randomly assigned 614 ...
متن کاملStem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy, affecting approximately 14,000 new patients in the United State per year. The median overall survival is 5 years, and cure is a realistic goal for only a small minority of patients. METHODS A review of the literature was conducted that focused on treatment strategies for MM involving administration of high dose...
متن کاملOsteoporosis after stem cell transplantation
Background Stem cell transplantation has become as a novel treatment for end-stage kidney, lung, heart , liver diseases and several hematologic disorders. Improved survival of transplant recipients has raised awareness of post-transplant complications. One of these complications is transplant-related osteoporosis. Methods In this manuscript we review prevention methods for transplant-relat...
