Risk factors and stratification models in patients with multiple myeloma

ISS59 R-ISS17 R2-ISS18 Other risk factors
Stage I: serum β2M < 3.5  µg/L and serum albumin ≥3.5  g/dL
Stage II: not ISS stage I or III
Stage III: serum β2M ≥ 5.5  µg/L 
Stage I: ISS stage I, t(4;14), and/or t(14;16) and/or del(17p) negativity by FISH and normal serum LDH
Stage II: not ISS stage I or III
Stage III: ISS stage III and either elevated serum LDH or t(4;14) and/or t(14;16) and/or del(17p) positivity by FISH 
Additive score:
ISS II: 1 point
ISS III: 1.5 points
Del(17p): 1 point
Elevated serum LDH: 1 point
t(4;14): 1 point
1q+: 0.5 point
Groups:
Low risk: 0
Low intermediate: 0.5-1
Intermediate-high: 1.5-2.5
High: 3-5 
Genetic lesions: deletion and mutations of TP53; deletion chromosome 1p detected by FISH
Extramedullary disease60 
CTCs detected in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry14,15 
Plasma cell leukemia and plasma cell leukemia–like disease16,61 
GEP: high-risk signatures9-12
