Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Kaum eine Erkrankung in der Hämatologie entwickelt sich so dynamisch wie das multiple Myelom (MM) in den letzten Jahren. Dies betrifft sowohl therapeutische wie auch diagnostische Möglichkeiten.

Ziel

In diesem Übersichtsartikel werden die gegenwärtige Standarddiagnostik des MM dargestellt und ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Diagnostika aufgezeigt.

Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerung

In absehbarer Zeit wird die Überprüfung einer persistierenden minimalen Resterkrankung nach Therapie sowie der Einsatz funktioneller Bildgebung Einzug in die Standarddiagnostik des MM halten. Die ersten positiven Studienergebnisse für zielgerichtete Therapien für genetisch determinierte Myelomsubgruppen – Venetoclax für t(11;14)-positive Patienten – legen zudem die Notwendigkeit einer Ausweitung der genetischen Diagnostik für MM-Patienten nahe.

Abstract

Background

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most dynamically developing diseases in hematology in recent years. Ongoing progress is seen in treatment and diagnostic options are also improving tremendously.

Objective

In this review the state of the art of the diagnostics of MM is presented and an outlook on innovative technologies is given.

Results and conclusion

In the foreseeable future the detection of persisting minimal residual disease after treatment and the use of functional imaging will be incorporated into standard workflows for MM. The first positive study results for targeted treatment of genetically determined myeloma subgroups, the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax for t(11;14) positive myeloma patients, additionally indicate the necessity for extending genetic diagnostic testing for MM patients.
