Abstract

The prognostic value of 1q21 Gain/Amplification (1q21 Gain/Amp) in multiple myeloma (MM) has always been controversial. A total of 419 newly diagnosed MM patients were included in this retrospective study. The positive rate of 1q21 Gain/Amp was 48.6%. MM patients with 1q21 Gain/Amp were characterized as being in more advanced clinical stages and were more likely to be accompanied by del(13q14), t(4;14) or complex karyotypes (CKs) as well as with more severe anemia and worse renal function. In these patients, the percentage of complete remission (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) was higher, however, in the early treatment period, the probability of progressive disease (PD) was also higher. No significant difference on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was showed between the group of 1q21Amp and 1q21Gain. The prognostic impact of 1q21 Gain/Amp on PFS of MM patients was heterogeneous and was in accordance with the accompanying parameters.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
