"Smoldering multiple myeloma, which accounts for about 8% of the malignancy, resembles monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), but MGUS is far less likely to progress to active disease or amyloidosis at 20 years, the investigators noted. Smoldering multiple myeloma has a 78% probability of progression, versus 21% for MGUS."

I meant to post this info yesterday, but got distracted. The abstract of this new and interesting study on the progression of SMM to MM is available online. It's titled: "Clinical Course and Prognosis of Smoldering (Asymptomatic) Multiple Myeloma." I have the full text, thanks to a friend. if you would like to read the entire thing, leave me a note on my blog (where I also posted a summary of the main points of the study). Or drop me a line (those of you who have my e-mail address). I will be happy to forward the full study upon request. Margaret, Florence, Italy
