Multiple Myeloma

www.MansFans.com

Epidemiology 1% Of all malignant diseases. Annual incidence: 3-4/100 000. In the US 16,000 people are diagnosed and more than 11,000 die with MM each year

Age: - Median age: 65y. - The diagnosis of MM in a patient < 30y should only be made after careful evaluation of all data.

Epidemiology •





Incurable in almost all patients Median survival from diagnosis is 4-5 years More frequent in men than women

Multiple Myeloma • Malignancy of plasma cells •Plasma cells >10% of bone marrow Hallmarks • Presence of monoclonal protein • Anemia • Renal failure • Bone destruction (lytic bone lesions) • Hypercalcemia • Increased risk of infection

Symptoms Bone pain Tumor release of IL-6 (osteoclast activating factor), causing lytic bone lesions

Infection due to low Antibody production

Renal failure Commonly due to hypercalcemia, Bence Jones protein tubular damage, recurrent pyelonephritis

Symptoms Normocytic normochromic anemia Weakness and fatigue Confusion Headache and retinopathy due to blood hyperviscosity

Multiple Myeloma: Lab investigation ESR: very high. Serum protein electrophoresis: M-band. Immunofixation or immunoelectrophoresis: are confirmatory studies to define M- protein heavy and light chain classes.

Multiple Myeloma: Lab investigation Serum Ca: often . Serum creatinine: often . Anaemia (not obligatory): (rouleaux formation of RBCs).

In uninvolved immunoglobulins. +BJP in 24 hr urine collection (monoclonal light chains).

Multiple Myeloma BM PICTURE: (Aspirate & Trephine Biopsy) • >10 % myeloma cells..

• More basophilic cytoplasm. • Increased mitotic figures or multiple nuclei. • Coarse chromatin. • Plasma cell nests.

Multiple Myeloma RADIODIAGNOSIS: Radiological survey of the entire skeleton: is mandatory.

MRI: is superior to CT for screening the vertebral column for osteolytic lesions.

Bone scan: is not indicated (cold lesions). REMEMBER!! Iodine-containing contrast media may cause acute renal failure in case of paraproteinaemia.

Multiple Myeloma Criteria for Diagnosis: (At least 1 major + 1 minor or 3 minors)

•Major Criteria: (1) Plasmacytoma on tissue biopsy (2) Marrow plasmacytosis > 30 %. (3) Monoclonal protein: Ig G > 3.5 g / dl. Ig A > 2 g / dl. BJP > 1 g / 24 hr.

Multiple Myeloma Criteria for Diagnosis: Minor Criteria: (1) Marrow plasmacytosis 10-29 %. (2) Monoclonal protein present but less than the above levels (3) Lytic bone lesions (4) Decrease in uninvolved Ig: Ig M < 50 mg / dl. Ig A < 100 mg / dl. Ig G < 600 mg / dl.

Treatment of MM

Criteria of Response:

CR:

•No M-band in serum or urine on electrophoresis. •BJP < 200 mg/24 hrs •Plasma cells in BM < 5%

N.B. Immunofixation in serum and urine may still be positive.

VG PR:

•Decrease of M-band or light chains > 90 %. •Plasma cells in BM < 10%

Treatment of MM

Criteria of Response: PR: Decrease of M-band or light chains in urine > 50 %.

Minimal Response (MR): Decrease of M-band or light chains in urine > 25 %.

No Change (NC): No change in any parameter.

Treatment of MM

Criteria of Response: Progressive Disease(PD):

• Increase in M-band or light chains in urine > 25 %. • Development of new osteolytic lesions. • Newly developed hypercalcaemia.

Primary Resistance: Response rate < 25 % after at least 4 full-dose treatment cycles.

Multiple Myeloma Main Causes of Death: • Uncontrolled infections • Renal failure • Bleeding • Secondary leukaemia

•Dexamethasone 40 mg P.O. day 1-4 & 9-12 (& day 17-20 in cycle 1 only)

Repeat every 3 weeks

Chemotherapy of MM Second line: High dose dexamethasone: 40 mg I.V. day 1-4, 9-12,19-21. DCEP •Dexamethasone 40 mg I.V. day 1-4 •Cyclophosphamide 300 mg/ m2 C.I. day 1-4 •Etoposide 30 mg/ m2 C.I. day 1-4 •Platinol 15 mg/ m2 C.I. day 1-4 CEP to be mixed together in 1L normal saline.

Treatment of MM

Radiotherapy: Indications: • Big osteolytic lesions. • Significant osteolytic lesions in weight-bearing bone (for fear of pathological fracture). • Cord compression. • Extramedullary plasmacytoma.
