Survival rate of multiple myeloma patients in Indonesia: A retrospective study in multiple myeloma at a single institution.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To evaluate the response and the correlation between survival and prognostic factors in 32 patients with multiple myeloma.

Method

We recruited 32 patients (18 men and 14 women) with mean age 59 years old who were diagnosed with multiple myeloma that were treated with surgery (n = 21) and without surgery (n = 11). 9 patients underwent hemiarthroplasty, 14 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation and 4 patients underwent spinal decompression and posterior pedicular instrumentation from January 2012 to December 2017. In this group, there were 6 patients who underwent more than one surgeries. Patients were classified using the International Staging System (ISS) for multiple myeloma by evaluated albumin and β₂-microglobulin level.
