Core Tip |
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease with large differences in survival time from several months to 20 years, and its clinical manifestations are complex. There are many factors affecting the prognosis. International Staging System and Durie-Salmon staging has been established to assess the prognosis of the disease, but the accuracy of β2-microglobulin and albumin was controversial. In recent years, new prognostic indicators of MM are being continuously explored. Studies have shown that associated with renal function, degree of bone destruction, and hypercalcemia, which can reveal the prognosis of MM and predict the overall survival (OS). Moreover, minimal residual disease can also predict OS and progression-free survival in patients with MM. We collected the data from MM patients in our hospital, analyzed their clinical efficacy, follow-up results and laboratory examination indicators, and suggested that interleukin-32 can be used as an auxiliary indicator for post-treatment efficacy and prognosis assessment. |
