Overview

POEMS syndrome presents as a chronic progressive polyneuropathy. Patients may have coexisting multi-organ system disorders. The neuropathy is usually symmetrical and ascending. Endocrinopathy, present in majority of cases, involves hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, and abnormalities of the pituitary-adrenal axis. If left untreated, patients suffering from POEMS syndrome may become wheel chair bound. Complications of POEMS syndrome include renal failure, pulmonary hypertension, pathologic fractures, ischemic stroke, restrictive lung disease, polycythemia, thrombocytosis, papilledema, and myocardial infarction. 3, 5, and 10 year overall survival (OS) for patients newly diagnosed with POEMS syndrome is 87.7%, 84.1%, and 77%. Age >50 years, pulmonary hypertension, pleural effusion, and estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 were associated with inferior overall survival in the derivation cohort, with the use of multivariate Cox regression model based on randomized sample splitting of 362 patients. Low albumin (defined as<3.2 g/dl) at diagnosis and failure to achieve a complete hematologic response to first-line therapy can be independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS). Improvement of plasma cell dyscrasia leads to improvement or marked reduction in other abnormalities. Neuropathy, stroke, and myocardial infarction are the most common causes of death in POEMS syndrome.
