Gene Expression Profiling Is A Strong Predictor Of Clinical Outcomes In Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Introduction: Gene expression profiling (GEP) of purified CD138+ bone marrow plasma cells (PC) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) has proven to be a reliable prognostic tool. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of all consecutive NDMM patients with available GEP pre-treatment and compare GEP with standard FISH in determining relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
