Heavy/light chain (HLC) assay will enable us to evaluate the changes in the concentrations of iHLC and uHLC separately and to better identify whether the change observed is clonal or reactive. It would therefore aid in decision making for earlier implementation or discontinuation of treatment for patients with intact immunoglobulin multiple myeloma (MM).
重链/轻链(HLC)检测将使我们能够分别评估完整重链(iHLC)和不完整重链(uHLC)浓度的变化,并更好地确定观察到的变化是克隆性的还是反应性的。因此,它将有助于为完整免疫球蛋白多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者的治疗方案是早期实施还是中止提供决策依据。
