ASH 2020 | Prognostic significance of t(11;14) in multiple myeloma

Susan Bal, MD, MBBS, O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, shares the findings of a real-world investigation into the characteristics and outcomes of t(11;14) multiple myeloma patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared for t(11;14)+ and t(11;14)- patients, as well as other common genetically-defined subgroups. The analysis found that patients with t(11;14)+ had a worse PFS and OS compared to patients with t(11;14)-. The presence of the t(11;14) translocation also negatively impacted prognosis in myeloma with del(17p). This interview took place during the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, 2020.
