Using the term of progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS), we considered a combined population of persons with secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and primary progressive MS (PPMS). These forms of MS cannot be challenged with efficacy by the licensed therapy. In the last years, several measures of risk estimation were developed for predicting clinical course in MS, but none is specific for the PMS forms. Personalized medicine is a therapeutic approach, based on identifying what might be the best therapy for an individual patient, taking into account the risk profile. We need to achieve more accurate estimates of useful predictors in PMS, including unconventional and qualitative markers which are not yet currently available or practicable routine diagnostics. The evaluation of an individual patient is based on the profile of disease activity.Within the neurology field, PMS is one of the fastest-moving going into the future.
使用进行性多发性硬化症(PMS)这一术语,我们纳入了继发进展型多发性硬化症(SPMS)和原发进展型多发性硬化症(PPMS)患者的综合群体。这些多发性硬化症形式无法通过获批疗法验证其疗效。在过去几年中,已开发出几种风险评估方法来预测多发性硬化症的临床病程,但没有一种方法对PMS形式具有特异性。精准医疗是一种治疗方法,基于识别对个体患者而言可能是最佳的治疗方法,同时考虑风险状况。我们需要更准确地估计PMS中有用的预测指标,包括目前尚未可用或无法实际用于常规诊断的非常规和定性标志物。对个体患者的评估基于疾病活动情况。在神经学领域,PMS是迈向未来发展最快的领域之一。
