The presence of two light chain bands on immunofixation is associated with poor outcomes in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

We aimed to describe the clinical and biological characteristics and the prognosis of patients presenting with an additional light chain (LC) band along with a complete monoclonal protein on immunofixation (IF).An 8-year descriptive study was conducted to assess all cases with confirmed monoclonal gammopathies (MG). We studied those with an entire M-protein with 2 bands of LC of the same isotype based on the results of IF.
