¨O mieloma múltiplo (MM) é uma neoplasia maligna hematológica causada pela intensa proliferação indiscriminada de plasmócitos na medula óssea. Define-se mieloma múltiplo (MM) como uma doença maligna e incurável das células B caracterizada pela proliferação de plasmócitos secretores de imunoglobulina monoclonal no sangue ou na urina, o que pode ocorrer como evolução de um quadro de gamopatia monoclonal de significado indeterminado (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance – MGUS). O mieloma corresponde a 10% das neoplasias hematológicas e sua incidência aumenta com a idade, com uma mediana de 67 anos; porém 3% dos pacientes ao diagnóstico possuem idade inferior a 40 anos. Estima-se que a taxa de progressão de MGUS para MM seja de 0,6 a 3% ao ano. O conhecimento da fisiopatologia do mieloma e de suas manifestações clínicas secundárias permitiu que, em 1975, fosse criado o estadiamento de Durie-Salmon (Durie-Salmon stage – DSS). Em 2005, foi publicado o International Staging System (ISS), o qual também propõe três estádios, mas se baseia em marcadores laboratoriais de atividade de doença: beta-2 microglobulina e albumina. O ISS é validado para diversos grupos populacionais, incluindo a população brasileira, e é considerado como forma de estadiamento mais moderna e fidedigna, quando comparado ao DSS. Os avanços na quimioterapia antineoplásica e no transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas (TCTH) melhoraram as taxas de sobrevivência, mas o mieloma múltiplo permanece incurável. Pessoas com mieloma múltiplo geralmente desenvolvem lesões ósseas, hipercalcemia, anemia, imunossupressão e comprometimento renal, acompanhadas de fadiga, dor óssea e neuropatia periférica (NP). ¨
