The impact of cytogenetic evolution and acquisition of del(17p) on the prognosis of multiple myeloma patients.
Prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), a third most common hematological cancer, is dependent on baseline cytogenetics. However, little is known about the prognostic significance of cytogenetic evolution (CE) at the time between the diagnosis and relapse of MM. ⋯ Presence of CE and, particularly, the acquisition of new del(17p) at relapse, negatively affect the outcome of MM. Therefore, re‑evaluation of FISH at MM relapse should be included in routine clinical practice.
