Monoclonal Gammopathy of

Unknown Significance

It is important to define MGUS

 As it does not need treatment


 It is not cancer
 But it may have a risk to get blood disease (?)
and infection
 Only follow up is needed
International Myeloma Working
Group

 MM (Multiple Myeloma) Updated definition


 SMM (Smouldering Multiple Myeloma)
Updated defintion
 MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of
Undetermined Significance) Updated
classification
 Solitary Plasmacytoma Updated definition and
classification
Important notes

 MGUS diagnosis: BMB (biopsy) can be deferred if


patients appear to be at low risk of MGUS
 SMM diagnosis follow up recommendation MRI
(whole body or spine), whole body-CT or PET-CT are
needed at baseline in patients considered to have
SMM
 BMPC (bone marrow plasma cell) estimation
– either aspirate or biopsy can be used to estimate BMPC
– If values are discrepant (aspirate or biopsy) use the highest
– Estimation of BMPC by flowcytometry is not recommended
Updated defintion of MM-1

 In addition to CRAB the following MDEsare


considered to MM
– CRAB: Calcium (elevated), Renal failure, Anaemia,
Bone Lesion.
– MDEs (Myelome Defining Events): CRAB + one of 3
features
 BMPC ≥ 60%
 Srum FLC (free light chain) ratio ≥ 100 provided involved
FLC ≥ 100 mg/dl
 > 1 focal lesion on MRI
CRAB

 Hypercalcemia: serum Ca++ > 11 mg/dl


(>2.75 mmol/L)
 Renal failure: Creatinin clearance < 40 mg/min
or serum creatinin > 2mg/dl (177 umol/L)
 Anaemia: Hb < 10 g/dl or difference of > 2 g/dl
from the normal local lower limit Hb value.
 Bone Lesion ≥1 osteolytic lesion on skeletal
radiography, CT or PET-CT
Updated defintion of MM-2
 CT and PET-CT can be used for detecting osteolytic bone lesions
 Creatinin clearance of < 40 ml/min can be used as cut-off point of
renal failure in addition to serum creatinin (> 2mg/dl)
 Only suspected or biopsy proven light chain cast nephropathy
allowed as renal MDE
 Presence of M-protein is not requiered for diangsosis of MM and
only to classify MM into secretory and non-secretory type
 Osteoporosis, compression fracture, infection, hyperviscosity
syndrome and peripheral neuropathy alone are not considered as
MDEs
Updated definition of SMM

 ≥ 3 g/dl serum M-protein or ≥ 200 mg/24 hr


urine M protein and/or ≥ 10% BMPC plus no
MDEs or AL amyloidosis (Immunolightchain
Amyloidosis)
Updated classification of MGUS

 Non-IgM MGUS
 IgM MGUS
 Light Chain MGUS
Non-IgM MGUS (all must be
present)

 Serum monoclonal protein (Non-IgM type) <


3g/dl
 Clonal BMPC < 10%
 No end-organ damage such as CRAB that can
be attributed to the plasma cell proliferative
disorder
IgM MGUS (all must be present)

 Serum monoclonal protein (IgM type) > 3g/dl


 Clonal BMPC < 10%
 No end-organ damage such as CRAB that can
be attributed to the plasma cell proliferative
disorder
Light chain MGUS (all criteria must
be met)

 Abnormal FLC (<0.26 or >1.65)


 BMPC < 10%
 No end-organ damage such as CRAB that can
be attributed to the plasma cell proliferative
disorder

 / > 1.65 involved FLC is Kappa () and

the univolved is Kappa

 Serum involved:univolved FLC Ratio


≥100% (and the involved FLC must be
measurable ≥ 100 mg/L
Updated classification and
defintion of Solitary Plasmacytoma

 Type-1: No clonal BMPC


 Type-2: with minimal marrow involvement
(clonal BMPC present byt < 10%)
