Risk of SMM progression to active MM according to different prognostic systems as compared with risk of progression of MGUS to active MM. Gray shading includes 2-year time point. Risk of SMM progression to active MM according to different prognostic systems as compared with risk of progression of MGUS to active MM. Gray shading includes 2-year time point. (A) SMM risk based on BMPCs ≥ 10%, M protein ≥ 30 g/L.21 Bold solid line, both above threshold; solid line, BMPCs ≥ 10% but M-protein < 30 g/L; dashed line, BMPC < 10% but M-protein ≥ 30 g/L. (B) SMM risk based on BMPC ≥ 10, M protein ≥ 30 g/L, and involved FLC/uninvolved FLC ≥ 8.25 Bold solid line, all 3 factors above threshold; solid line, any 2 factors above threshold; dashed line, any 1 factor above threshold. (C) SMM risk based on involved FLC/uninvolved FLC ≥ 100.26 Bold solid line, above threshold; solid line, below threshold. (D) SMM risk based on absence of CD19 and/or CD45 expression, overexpression of CD56, or weak expression of CD38 and immunoparesis of either of the uninvolved immunoglobulins.31 Bold solid line, both risk factors present; solid line, either risk factor present; dashed line, neither risk factor present. (E) SMM risk based on presence (bold solid) or absence (solid) of more than 1 focal lesion on whole-body MRI.34 (F) SMM risk based on FISH.38 Bold solid line, del17p,or t(4;14); solid line, trisomies alone; dashed line, any other interphase FISH abnormality; dotted line, normal or insufficient interphase FISH. (G) SMM risk based on high-risk interphase FISH [del17p, t(4;14), +1q21, or hyperdiploidy] and high tumor burden (M-protein ≥ 20 g/L).39 Bold solid line, both high-risk factors present; solid line, interphase FISH low risk and tumor high risk; dashed line, FISH high risk and tumor low risk; dotted line, both low risk. (H) MGUS risk of progression to MM based on M protein ≥ 30 g/L, abnormal rFLC, and heavy chain IgA or IgM.60 Bold solid line, all risk factors present; solid line, 2 risk factors present; dashed line, 1 risk factor present; dotted line, no risk factor present.

Distribution and outcomes based on FISH abnormalities among patients with SMM. (A) No interphase FISH abnormalities, white; standard risk: t(11;14), t(14;16), or t(14;20) or other/unknown IgH or del 13/13q, light gray; intermediate risk: trisomy without IgH... Distribution and outcomes based on FISH abnormalities among patients with SMM. (A) No interphase FISH abnormalities, white; standard risk: t(11;14), t(14;16), or t(14;20) or other/unknown IgH or del 13/13q, light gray; intermediate risk: trisomy without IgH translocation, dark gray; high risk: t(4;14)or del (17p), black. Solid bars, progression from SMM to MM; stippled bars, OS from SMM diagnosis. (B) Duration of time a patient lives with labels ranging from MGUS to SMM to active MM is in part related to interphase FISH. Although individuals harboring trisomies (ii) appear to progress more rapidly through their diagnosis of SMM than patients with normal FISH or non-t(4;14) translocations (i), they survive much longer than those with deletion 17p (iii) and about as long as patients with normal or non-t(4;14) translocations (i).
