Elizabeth D. Lightbody, PhD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, discusses SWIFT-Seq, a novel method utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The technique enables the profiling of limited CTCs in blood, assessing their proliferation rate, cytogenetic profile, and gene expression profile. This innovative approach consolidates multiple assays into a single test, reducing costs and improving clinical and biological insights. This interview took place at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
