Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the outcome of the statistical analysis of 50 myeloma patients, making a comparison of the prognosis value of the staging systems proposed by Durie and Salmon and, more recently by Merlini, Waldenström and Jayakar. Moreover, we studied the relationship between initial percentage of bone marrow plasma cells and prognosis. All patients had a complete follow-up and received the same treatment. We excluded our cases of non excreting and solitary myeloma. The staging system proposed by Durie and Salmon still has the best prognosis significance. The system proposed by Merlini, Waldenström and Jayakar does not allow a staging of the patients in rigourous conditions. The absence of a relationship between initial bone marrow plasmocytosis and prognosis corroborates the poor reliability of this staging system. |
