In this interview, Jesús San Miguel, MD, PhD, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, shares novel insights into the significance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in both smoldering and active multiple myeloma. He highlights that 73% of patients with smoldering myeloma have CTCs, which can be used as a tool to predict the risk of progression to active disease. Prof. San Miguel also notes that 10% of patients with active myeloma lack CTCs and discusses the value of measuring CTCs by blood flow to assess measurable residual disease (MRD). This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
