Abstract

The outcome for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is gradually improving due to the introduction of several new agents with strong antimyeloma activity. Both younger (transplant-eligible) and elderly patients benefit from this therapeutic progress. Although complete remission can be achieved in a significant group of MM patients, the majority of these patients will relapse because of the persistence of minimal residual disease. In this editorial, we discuss the different assays for response assessment in myeloma together with their limitations and clinical importance.
