Incidence of Free Light Chain Escape in Multiple Myeloma, Why is it Increasing?
Four types of relapse are commonly seen with Multiple Myeloma. At the beginning of his presentation, Mark Drayson described a study in which 35% of the study participants showed an increase in both paraprotein and free light chain levels, 50% showed only an increase in paraprotein levels, 5% showed a small or no increase in paraprotein and free light chains and 10% relapsed with an increase in their free light chains only.
