Multiple Myeloma Testing at Mayo Medical Laboratories [Hot Topic]
Multiple myeloma can be classified into active or symptomatic myeloma and smoldering. Stratification of active myeloma can be further stratified into standard-, intermediate-, and high-risk. This information is used to guide therapy and assess response to therapy. New tools, minimum residual disease assessment and next-generation sequencing tests expand the ability to detect additional risk factors.
In this Mayo Medical Laboratories Hot Topic video, Dr. Dragan Jevremovic reviews the current state of testing for diagnosis, therapy, and stratification of patients with multiple myeloma.
