A Nomogram Based on Circulating Inflammatory Factors for Predicting Prognosis of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients by Wang M, Yue X, Ding Y, Cai Z, Xiao H, Huang H, He J

“…Our previous study and other published studies have shown that MM patients with higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) or interleukin (IL)-10 (IL-10), lower lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) or platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) frequently have inferior overall survival (OS) independent of current risk- stratification markers. Nevertheless, whether specific inflammation-related markers have prognostic value for MM patients remains elusive.Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 452 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients treated in our center from May 2013 to June 2022. …”
