Improved survival in multiple myeloma following prior detection of precursor conditions: a nationwide real-world study

Cancer research · Multiple myeloma

Prior detection of precursor conditions (MGUS or SMM) is associated with improved overall survival in multiple myeloma patients compared to those diagnosed de novo.

Improved survival with earlier detection supports targeted surveillance of high‑risk individuals and could influence screening and monitoring guidelines for precursor plasma‑cell disorders.
