Since the presence of an M-component is an essential disease feature in both multiple myeloma (MM) and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), the decrease in the M-protein size applied for response in MM is also a crucial criteria for assessing response in WM. However, WM frequently displays lymphoma-like features that should be included in the response criteria.
由于M蛋白成分的存在是多发性骨髓瘤(MM)和华氏巨球蛋白血症(WM)的基本疾病特征,因此MM中用于评估缓解的M蛋白大小的降低也是评估WM缓解情况的关键标准。然而,WM常表现出淋巴瘤样特征,这些特征应纳入缓解标准中。
