Overview

The current standard of care for MGUS is monitoring for progression to multiple myeloma. The goal is to detect other plasma cell dyscrasias at an early time point such that corrective intervention can be undertaken. Trials using lenalidomide and bisphosphonates are been conducted to determine whether they decrease the progression of the disease both for MGUS and multiple myeloma.

Medical Therapy

The following recommendation is based on studies showing reduced morbidity and mortality in patients with MGUS who were monitored before progression to multiple myeloma.[1][2][3][4][5]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Monoclonal protein detected
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Low-risk MGUS
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Intermediate- or high-risk MGUS
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Stable?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If bone marrow biopsy and imaging is negative then, at 6 mo, repeat SPEP, IFE, serum FLC, CBC, Creatinine, and Calcium tests
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If yes then at 2-3y, repeat SPEP,IFE,serum FLC, CBC, Creatinine, and calcium tests
 
If No then shorten interval and/or workup for progression
 
 
 
 
 
Stable?

No
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At 1 y, repeat SPEP, IFE, serum FLC, CBC, Creatinine, and Calcium tests
 
 
Shorten interval and/or workup for progression


Anti-resorptive therapy

Vitamin D and calcium can be given as anti-resorptive therapy.[6]

Peripheral neuropathy

Corticosteroids may be helpful with peripheral neuropathy. Gabapentin can be considered also.

Advances

Trials using lenalidomide and bisphosphonates are begin run to determine whether they decrease the progression of the disease both for MGUS and multiple myeloma.[7][8][9]
