The characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma surviving over 10 years.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have achieved long-term survival of over 10 years in the context where novel agents and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) serve as the primary therapeutic modalities.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 168 MM patients diagnosed and treated in our institution from January 2004 to January 2014. 44 patients with a survival period exceeding 10 years were categorized into the long-term survival group, while 124 patients with a survival period of less than 10 years were categorized into the non-long-term survival group.

Results

Being younger than 57 years old (OR 3.634, 95%CI 1.302-10.143), having a neutrophil count of at least 3.66 * 10⁹/L (OR 3.122, 95%
