What is Multiple Myeloma?
MM is
a blood cancer
characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells in the
bone marrow
. Myeloma is rare, accounting for 1% of all cancers.
MM diagnosis and monitoring
Multiple myeloma diagnosis and monitoring are based on
clinical symptoms
and
a variety of laboratory tests
. M-protein detection and quantification are integral parts of diagnosis and monitoring of MM.
What is MRD ?
MRD stands for
Minimal Residual Disease
. It refers to the
very small number of myeloma cells that are present in the bone marrow after treatment
. These remaining cells often cannot be detected through traditional tests of treatment response. However, they have the
potential to multiply and cause relapse
