Multiple myeloma (MM) patients presenting with anaemia as their sole clinical manifestation are rare and not fully defined.
Retrospective multi-site study comparing the characteristics and outcome of MM patients with anaemia only with matched patients, presenting with multi-organ disease.
Anaemia-only patients had a higher percentage of bone marrow monoclonal plasma cells group (median 60% [IQR 42-80%] vs. 37% [IQR 17-65%], respectively; p < 0.001), and a lower responsiveness to treatment (≥VGPR rates were 54% vs 74%, p = 0.049). Median survival in anaemia only patients was 65.9 ± 6.9 vs 83.4 ± 8.8 months in matched control patients (P = n.s).
MM patients presenting with anaemia only represents a unique, potentially less favorable population.
仅有贫血表现的多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者较为罕见,目前尚未对其进行充分定义。
本回顾性多中心研究比较了仅有贫血的 MM 患者与具有多器官疾病的匹配患者的特征和预后。
仅有贫血的患者骨髓单克隆浆细胞比例更高(中位数 60%[IQR 42-80%] vs. 37%[IQR 17-65%];p<0.001),且治疗应答率较低(≥VGPR 率分别为 54% vs. 74%;p=0.049)。仅有贫血的患者中位生存期为 65.9±6.9 个月,而匹配对照患者为 83.4±8.8 个月(P=无统计学意义)。
仅有贫血表现的 MM 患者可能是一个独特的、预后较差的人群。
