ASH 2022 | The role of PET-CT in the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple myeloma
Noemi Puig, MD, PhD, University Hospital Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain, describes the uses and benefits of PET-CT in patients with multiple myeloma and other monoclonal gammopathies. PET-CT can identify bone damage and be used as a part of the diagnostic workup when MRI is unavailable. PET-CT can additionally detect changes in the metabolic activity of cancer cells, which is used for treatment response assessment and for prognosis post-autologous transplantation. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress held in New Orleans, LA.
