MULTIPLE MYELOMA(MM)
Curs an IV - limba engleza2012-2013
![Page 2: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
MM - Background
• Definition:B-cell malignancy characterised by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells able to produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein )
![Page 3: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
MM - Background
• Multiple myeloma : as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma
• cancer of the plasma cell
• Multiple myelomaMultiple myeloma– excessive numbers of abnormal plasma cells in
the bone marrow – overproduction of intact monoclonal
immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgD, or IgE) or Bence-Jones protein (free monoclonal κ and λ light chains)
![Page 4: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
MM - Background
• Normal Plasma Cell Function in the Immune System– Stem cells can develop into B lymphocytes -- >travel to the
lymph nodes, mature, and then travel throughout the body.
– When foreign substances (antigens) enter the body -- >B cells develop into plasma cells that produce immunoglobulins Ig (antibodies) to help fight infection and disease.
![Page 5: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hematopoiesis
![Page 6: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Figure legend: In multiple myeloma, the B cell is damaged and gives rise to too many plasma cells (myeloma cells). These malignant cells do not function properly and their increased numbers produce excess immunoglobulins of a single type that the body does not need along with reduced amounts of normal immunoglobulins.

MM – Epidemiology (1)
• Second most prevalent blood cancer• Approximately 1% of all cancers and 2% of all
cancer deaths.• 45.000 currently have multiple myeloma• 14.600 new cases of myeloma each year. • Responsible for more than 10.000 deaths in
the United States annually. • 5 year survival rate
![Page 8: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MM – Epidemiology (2)
• MM occurs in all races and all geographic locations
• African Americans and blacks from Africa is two to three times the risk in whites
• Risk is lower in Asians from Japan and in Mexicans
• Slightly more frequent in men than in women (1.4:1)
![Page 9: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MM – Epidemiology (3)
• MM is a disease of older adults
• The median age at diagnosis is 66 years
• Only 10 percent of patients are younger than 50 years
• Only 2 percent of patients are younger than 40 years
![Page 10: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MM – Etiology
• Genetic causes– Ongoing research is investigating whether HLA-Cw5 or
HLA-Cw2 may play a role in the pathogenesis of myeloma.
• Environmental or occupational causes– significant exposures in the agriculture, food, silicon,
Benzene, Nikel and petrochemical industries
• Radiation:– Radiation has been linked to the development of myeloma.– In 109,000 survivors of the bombing of Nagasaki, 29 died
from myeloma from 1950-1976; however, some recent studies do not confirm that these survivors have an increased risk of developing myeloma.
![Page 11: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MM - Pathophysiology• These myeloma cells travel through the bloodstream and
collect in the bone marrow, where they cause permanent damage to healthy tissue.
• As tumors grow, they invade the hard outer part of the bone, the solid tissue.
• In most cases, the myeloma cells spread into the cavities of all the large bones of the body, forming multiple small lesions. This is why the disease is known as "multiple" myeloma.
![Page 12: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Figure legend: Bone marrow stromal cells and myeloma cells produce cytokines that help myeloma cells grow and survive. Myeloma cells also produce growth factors that stimulate new blood vessel formation through a process called angiogenesis. New blood vessels provide nutrients and oxygen to the tumor, allowing it to grow. The natural immune response that attacks myeloma cells is suppressed.

MM - Pathophysiology
• Normally, plasma cells produce immunoglobulins to fight infection
• However, in MM and MGUS a single cloned plasma cell proliferate and overproduce the same Ig (aka, the "M-protein" or "paraprotein." )o The M-protein is usually an IgG
• MM cells can also just produce the light chain component (Instead of the entire Ig)
![Page 15: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

MM - Pathophysiology
• 80% of cases of MM arise De Novo• 20% percent from MGUS.• Risk factors for progression from MGUS to MM
include:o An elevated M protein level > 1.5 g per dLo A non-IgG MGUSo Abnormal free light chain ratio
• Patients with MGUS should be monitored closely q 6 to 12 months. (C-Level)

MM – Clinical presentation
• Bone pain – Myeloma bone pain involves the rib ,sternum, spine ,
clavicle , skull , humerus & femur
– The lumbar vertebrae are one of the most common sites of pain -- >may lead to spinal cord compression.
– Persistent localized pain may indicate a pathological fracture.

MM – Clinical presentation• Hypercalcemia - patients present with confusion,
somnolence, bone pain, constipation, nausea, and thirst. – Medical emergency
• Anemia - normocytic and normochromic.– It results from the replacement of normal bone marrow by
infiltrating tumor cells and inhibition of normal red blood cell production by cytokines.
![Page 25: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

MM – Clinical presentation• Infection
– Organism : polysaccharide encapsulated <strep.pneumoniae, H.influenzae>
– Common pneumonia pathogens :S pneumoniae, S aureus, and K pneumoniae
– Common pathogens causing pyelonephritis : E coli and other gram-negative organisms.
– The increased risk of infection is due to immune deficiency resulting from diffuse hypogammaglobulinemia, which is due to decreased production and increased destruction of normal antibodies.

MM – Laboratory tests– total protein, albumin and globulin, BUN, creatinine, and
uric acid, which is high if the patient has high cell turnover or is dehydrated
– Serum protein electrophoresis, urine protein electrophoresis, and immunofixation
• Serum protein electrophoresis is used to determine the type of each protein present and may indicate a characteristic curve (ie, where the spike is observed).
• Urine protein electrophoresis is used to identify the presence of the Bence Jones proteinBence Jones protein in urine.
• Immunofixation is used to identify the subtype of protein (ie, IgA lambda).

MM – Laboratory tests• A 24-hour urine collection for the Bence Jones protein (ie,
lambda light chains), protein, and creatinine
– Quantification of proteinuria is useful for diagnosis (>1 g of protein in 24 h is a major criterion) and for monitoring the patient's response to therapy.
– Creatinine clearance can be useful for defining the severity
of the patient's renal impairment.

Smoldering (asymptomatic) myeloma
• Deferral of chemotherapy until progression to symptomatic disease
• Follow these patients closely, every 3 to 4 months, with serum protein electrophoresis, complete blood count, serum creatinine, and serum calcium
• Metastatic bone survey should be considered annually because asymptomatic bone lesions may develop
![Page 47: Curs an IV - limba engleza](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999ff9a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Frontline Therapy in Elderly MM Patients
• For elderly patients or those who are not suitable candidates for transplantation, MP has been a standard treatment– ORR: 60%– Long-term CR: < 5%
• Trials with MP-based combinations reported improved response rates and time to progression– MPT– VMP
