Non-Secretory Multiple Myeloma Associated With High-Risk Phenotype and Complex Cytogenetics Including t(8;22).

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia which is typically characterized by identifiable paraprotein in the blood or urine. However, the minority of patients in whom paraprotein cannot be identified are designated non-secretory MM (NSM). Evaluation of treatment response is more difficult in these patients as paraprotein levels cannot be followed.
