There are currently no reliable or consistent predictors of risk for developing multiple myeloma, beyond race, age and sex.
Other risk factors that are being mentioned warrants further research.

Obesity has been associated with an elevated risk of multiple myeloma while high dietary intake of green vegetables and fish has been reported to be associated with decreased risk of the disease

Exposure to ionizing radiation is the only well-established risk factor for multiple myeloma, although some chemicals and occupational exposures have been reported to be associated with an increased risk

Clinical Findings consistent with the Patient
Underlying Cause and Pathogenetic Mechanism
Lytic bone lesions, bone pain Tumor expansion, production of osteoclast activating factor by tumor cells, osteoblast inhibitory factors
Renal failure Hypercalcemia, light chain deposition, amyloidosis, urate nephropathy, contrast dye
Easy fatigue—anemia Bone marrow infiltration, production of inhibitory factors, hemolysis, decreased red cell production, decreased erythropoietin levels
Recurrent infections Hypogammaglobulinemia, low CD4 count, decreased neutrophil migration
![Page 28: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bone pain, lytic bone lesions Factors produced by neoplastic plasma
cells mediate bone destruction, the major pathologic feature of multiple myeloma.
A variety of cytokines produced by the tumor cells, particularly MIP1α and the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), serve as osteoclast-activating factors
Kumar, et al. 2005.
![Page 29: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lytic bone lesions The bony lysis results in substantial
mobilization of calcium from bone, and serious acute and chronic complications of hypercalcemia may dominate the clinical picture
Braunwald et al., 2008.
![Page 30: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Renal Symptoms tubular damage associated with the
excretion of light chains is almost always present
Normally, light chains are filtered, reabsorbed in the tubules, and catabolized.
![Page 31: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
With the increase in the amount of light chains presented to the tubule, the tubular cells become overloaded with these proteins, and tubular damage results either directly from light chain toxic effects or indirectly from the release of intracellular lysosomal enzymes
![Page 32: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Unexplained peripheral neuropathy (not attributed to longstanding diabetes mellitus, toxin exposure, chemotherapy, etc.)
New-onset anemia associated with renal failure or insufficiency and bone pain

associated weight loss, fatigue, bone pain, abnormal bleeding)

If the examination is normal but multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, primary amyloidosis, or a related disorder still is suspected, immunofixation should then be performed. This technique may be more sensitive in identifying a small monoclonal (M) protein (Kyle, 1994).
![Page 36: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
some plasma cell proliferative disorders synthesize and secrete monoclonal free light and heavy chain fragments
These fragments are of relatively small molecular weight and may be readily cleared from blood
To detect these abnormalities, it may be necesssary to test urine samples (Roden et al., 2008).
![Page 37: GROUP 4 Gadin, Gonzales, Ignacio, Jumawan, Malihan, Manango, Mendoza, Morales, Oliva, Olivar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f475503460f94c6994f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• is used to detect monoclonal and other proteins in the urine
• monoclonal protein in serum is > 1.5 g/dL
• monoclonnal free light chains are detected in serum
• hypogammaglobulinemia is present in serum
• serum electrophoresis shows nephrotic pattern (Brants, 2009).

Other studies on serum β2-microglobulin (β2-m) level and plasma cell labeling index (PCLI) shows that β2-m >4ng/μL and PCLI >0.4% were associated with shorter survival than β2-m <1ng/μl and PCLI of 0

Deletion of chromosome13q14, 17p13 is associated with poor response to conventional induction therapy and short median overall survival
(Konigsberg et al., 2000) Recurrent translocations involving chromosome
14q32 correlate with survival as a result of intensive chemotherapy: t(4;14) is associated with short event-free and overall survival. t(11;14) associated with a longer overall survival
(Moreau, et al., 2002) Hypodiploidy (pseudodiploid, hypodiploid, near
tetraploid) are adverse prognostic factors(Smadja et al., 2001)

More mature type (i.e. plasmacytic) and <20% marrow replacement are favorable, and more immature or poorly differentiated (i.e. plasmablastic) and >50% marrow replacement are unfavorable prognostic factors

Alkylating agents such as melphalan should be avoided since they damage the stem cells (Braunwald, 2008).

Courses of therapy are repeated at 4-6 week intervals for at least one year.
Good clinical response is a 50% reduction in the measured M protein levels.
Complete remission is said to occur when the M protein cannot be identified by immunofixation and the bone marrow appears normal on biopsy (Boccadoro M, Pileri A. Diagnosis, prognosis, and standard treatment of multiple myeloma. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am 1997;11:111-31.)
