1f7b9e1c 2d76 4624 A7a1 Af472a30744f Jpeg The Gear Page Non secretory myeloma is a rare type of myeloma, a cancer of your plasma cells. in most cases, myeloma cells release (or secrete) antibodies into your blood and urine. Non secretory myeloma is a rare myeloma subtype whose diagnosis, until a few years ago, was established by demonstration of monoclonal plasma cells ≥10% in the bone marrow and by negative results on serum and urine electrophoresis and immunofixation studies.

4c7e96e6 0bb2 4d64 9596 88d2131fe277 Hosted At Imgbb Imgbb Non secretory myeloma is a rare form of myeloma. in people with this form, myeloma cells do not release an abnormal protein called paraprotein, making it harder to diagnose than other types. Those patients in whom more modern immunoglobulin testing methods can detect no serum, urine, or free light–based disease are the patients with truly non secretory myeloma (table 1). One criterion for the diagnosis of mm is serum and or urine monoclonal protein produced by clonal plasmocytes. however, about 1 2% of mm cases do not have monoclonal protein. if other diagnostic criteria are present, the possibility of a diagnosis of non secretory mm should be considered. Due to the low incidence of nonsecretory myeloma cases, most of what we know today comes from retrospective studies on small groups of patients and case reports. can secretory myeloma progress to nonsecretory myeloma? sometimes, a secretory myeloma can evolve and become a nonsecretory patient.

Non secretory multiple myeloma (nsmm) is a well described entity with an estimated prevalence of 3% characterized by typical morphological and pathological mm characteristics and the absence of an m protein on immunofixation electrophoresis (bjh, 2003, 121:749 757). This segment explores emerging therapies and strategies on the horizon for frontline treatment of transplant eligible multiple myeloma patients and discusses how these innovations will transform. Doctors can classify multiple myeloma in several ways. they often determine the type based on which immunoglobulins are overproduced. multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells . Diagnosing mm and monitoring treatment response, including eventual relapse, are largely based on sequential measurements of ig. however, a small subset of mm called non secretory multiple myeloma (nsmm) produces no detectable ig.
