Test Code MSMRT Mayo Algorithmic Approach for Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy Report, Bone Marrow

Useful For

Risk stratification of patients with treated multiple myeloma, which can assist in determining treatment and management decisions

 

Risk stratification of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

Reflex Tests

Test ID Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
CSMRT MPCDS Pre-Analysis Cell Sorting, BM No No
MPCDS mSMART Eval, PCPDs, FISH Yes, (Order PCPDS) No

Testing Algorithm

Based on the flow cytometric analysis and the presence of greater than or equal to 0.1% monotypic plasma cells, the pre-analysis cell sorting and fluorescence in situ hybridization for plasma cell proliferative disorders will be performed at an additional charge.

Clinical Information

Multiple myeloma is increasingly recognized as a disease characterized by marked cytogenetic, molecular, and proliferative heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is manifested clinically by varying degrees of disease aggressiveness. Multiple myeloma patients with more aggressive disease experience suboptimal responses to some therapeutic approaches; therefore, identifying these patients is critically important for selecting appropriate treatment options.

 

Mayo Algorithmic Approach for Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy (MSMRT) classifies patients into either standard or high-risk categories based on the results of 2 assays: plasma cell proliferation and fluorescence in situ hybridization for specific multiple myeloma-associated abnormalities.
