Dietary and microbiome evidence in multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders.

ABSTRACT: Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains an incurable plasma cell neoplasm. Although little is known about the etiology of MM, several metabolic risk factors such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, diet, and the human intestinal microbiome have been linked to the pathogenesis of MM. In this article, we provide a detailed review of dietary and microbiome factors involved in the pathogenesis of MM and their impact on outcomes. Concurrent with treatment advancements that have improved survival in MM, focused efforts are needed to reduce the burden of MM as well as improve MM specific and overall outcomes once MM is diagnosed. The findings presented in this review will provide a comprehensive guide on the evidence available to date of the impact of dietary and other lifestyle interventions on the gut microbiome and on MM incidence, outcomes, and quality of life. Data generated from such studies can help formulate evidence-based guidelines for healthcare providers to counsel individuals at risk such as those with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) as well as MM survivors with respect to their dietary habits.

Project description:IntroductionThe definition of primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) has been revised from ≥20% to ≥5% circulating plasma cells (CPC). However, the precise prognosis associated with CPC remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate prognostic biomarkers for myeloma patients based on CPC presence.MethodsA comprehensive analysis was conducted on 309 consecutive patients diagnosed with either multiple myeloma or pPCL, utilizing peripheral blood smears stained with Wright-Giemsa.ResultsPatients were grouped by CPC percentage: 0% (221, 71.5%), 1-4% (49, 15.9%), 5-19% (16, 5.2%), ≥20% (23, 7.4%). CPC >5% correlated with unfavorable characteristics, including anemia, renal dysfunction, and advanced International Staging System. Common cytogenetic abnormalities such as 1q21 amplification, 17p deletion, and Myc rearrangement were prevalent among CPC-positive patients. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were shorter in patients with CPC ≥5% (29.47 vs. 10.03 months; 64.10 vs. 12.30 months). Additionally, PFS and OS were shorter in CPC-positive patients without autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and those with response < partial remission to the first-line regimen. Furthermore, an association emerged between soft tissue-related extramedullary disease and inferior PFS, while Myc rearrangement correlated with abbreviated OS.ConclusionBiological characteristics displayed greater aggressiveness in patients with positive CPC, leading to significantly shorter PFS and OS. The presence of CPC, ASCT, and overall response rate were independent prognostic factors. While no new threshold for pPCL with CPCs is proposed, Myc rearrangements and CPC positivity could serve as ultra-high-risk factors for multiple myeloma.IntroductionThe definition of primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) has been revised from ≥20% to ≥5% circulating plasma cells (CPC).
