Green Tea Extract- Non-Toxic MGUS, SMM Therapy
-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) has potential as a novel therapeutic agent for patients with… multiple myeloma via induction of apoptosis mediated by modification of the redox system. Green

While trying to predict the risk of smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) from becoming full multiple myeloma (MM) is a worthwhile endeavor, no method of predicting SMM to full MM is 100% accurate. The study

Several prediction models for SMM progression to MM have been proposed and are typically based on a combination of biomarkers at diagnosis, such as level of MP, BMPCs, and FLCr. Hi David- I have been

“…there is a need to better understand the significant heterogeneity in SMM and to identify the patients who benefit the most from early treatment from those who can safely defer treatment.” I

“The optimal endpoint for studies evaluating progression from SMM to active MM is OS or a substantial improvement in the quality of life.” For as long as I can remember, conventional oncology
