- Abstract
MG was documented in 19 patients (13.8%); (IgM in 11 patients, IgG in four patients, both IgG and IgA in two, and monoclonal free light chains in two patients). Regarding paraprotein isotype, IgG/IgA was associated with shorter PFS ( I P i <.001), whereas such an association was not demonstrated for IgM ( I P i =.159) (Figure B). Regarding the isotype, IgG/IgA paraprotein correlated strongly with inferior OS ( I P i <.001), whereas no significant association was demonstrated for IgM ( I P i =.435) (Figure D).
