ASH 2023 | Mutant hematopoietic progenitor cells in MM associated with secondary primary malignancies
Bruno Paiva, PhD, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, discusses data from a longitudinal screening of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) for mutant hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in the bone marrow and discusses their association with secondary primary malignancies (SPM). The mutational landscape of patients changed during their treatment, and those patients with mutant progenitor HPCs had a greater risk of developing an SPM, resulting in a subsequent decrease in overall survival. Dr Paiva hopes that this study will aid in developing a diagnostic laboratory test which will allow the patients at higher risk of SPM to be identified and will facilitate personalized treatment to reduce the risk of SPM. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
