Overview
Non-secretory myeloma represents a less frequent variant of multiple myeloma. The development of electrophoretical methods and especially serum free light chain assessment has enabled the identification of secretion in patients formerly classified as non-secretory disease. Therefore, „true“ non-secretory myeloma defines a very rare condition, with typical biological-genetic characteristics, which requires a very specific diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
Key words:
multiple myeloma, non-secretory myeloma
