| Description | Over the past decade, 2 strategies have advanced the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma and its precursor diseases. First, the definition has changed to include patients without end organ damage, who previously would not have been treated. Second, there is widespread enthusiasm for treating high-risk, smoldering multiple myeloma. In this commentary, we explore the evidence supporting these therapeutic expansions. Although early treatment adds cost and therapeutic burden, it remains unknown whether survival and health-related quality of life are improved by early treatment. Herein, we consider the implications of diagnostic expansion in multiple myeloma. |
