Breaking down the facts

When a patient presents with a monoclonal protein (M-protein) disorder, the answer is not always multiple myeloma. From the more common diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), to rarer findings such as amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis or POEMS syndrome, it is becoming more recognized that plasma cell neoplasms are not just one disease, and they are characterized by marked protein, cytogenetic, molecular, and proliferative heterogeneity. Clinicians are increasingly challenged to provide answers in this rapidly changing environment. Advances in testing methodologies, novel therapies, and individualized treatment regimens continually add to the complexity of helping patients. Whether you’re screening, diagnosing, or monitoring patients, we offer leading edge testing while keeping patient care local.
