Singapore Medical Journal (2016)

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell neoplasm with an incidence of 100 patients per year in Singapore.Major advances have been made in the diagnosis, risk stratifi cation and treatment of MM in the recent past.The reclassifi cation of a subset of patients with smouldering MM, based on high-risk biomarkers, and the development of the revised international staging system are among the key new developments in diagnosis and staging.The use of novel agent-based treatment has resulted in signifi cant improvements in the survival and quality of life of many patients with MM.Determining the optimal use of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators and, more recently, monoclonal antibodies is an area of ongoing investigation.In this guideline, we aim to provide an overview of the management of MM, incorporating the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment.
