DISCLOSURES:
MASSIMO MASSAIA
Come da nuova regolamentazione della Commissione Nazionale per la Formazione Continua del Ministero della Salute, è
richiesta la trasparenza delle fonti di finanziamento e dei rapporti con soggetti portatori di interessi commerciali in campo
sanitario.
• Fondi per la ricerca da aziende con interessi commerciali in campo sanitario: Gilead, Novartis
• Partecipazione ad Advisory Board: AbbVie, Janssen
MM is the tip of the iceberg of
an antibody-mediated immune reaction went wrong
What are the hallmarks of an antibody-mediated immune
reaction went wrong?
• Ig amount & clonality (serum & urine)
• The amount of plasma cells producing the monoclonal Ig (BM & PB)
• The tissue damage induced by the monoclonal Ig
MM is a continuous disease
symptomatic
myeloma

myeloma MGUS smoldering
myeloma clonotypic
