摘要

In this issue of ONCOLOGY, Dr. Robert Kyle and colleagues provide their clinical and epidemiological perspective on monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering myeloma (SMM)-a perspective that is based on more than three decades of experience. Benign monoclonal protein was first described by Walden-strom in 1960 after abnormal narrow hypergammaglobu-linemia bands were noted in the serum of healthy individuals on serum protein electrophoresis.[1] In 1978, Kyle coined the term "monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)" after observing that asymptomatic patients with monoclonal protein have a higher risk of developing multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, light-chain amy-loidosis, and related disorders. [2] Since then, definitions of MGUS have undergone several revisions. Today, three distinct clinical subtypes of MGUS (non-IgM MGUS, IgM MGUS, and light-chain MGUS) have been delineated. [3,4] The review by Kyle et al discusses these subtypes and their epidemiological relationships with corresponding malignancies. In addition, the paper sheds light on recent discoveries regarding etiologic risk factors, complications, and clinical predictors of transformation from a precursor state to full-blown malignancy.
