Borja Puertas, MD, University Hospital of Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain, discusses work investigating the clinical-biological characteristics and prognostic significance of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS)-like profiles in transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT). Out of over 400 patients studied, MGUS-like profiles were identified in around 10% of individuals and were associated with more indolent disease, superior response rates, and prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to other immunophenotypic groups. This interview took place at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
