abstract = {This International Myeloma Working Group consensus updates
the disease definition of multiple myeloma to include
validated biomarkers in addition to existing requirements of
attributable CRAB features (hypercalcaemia, renal failure,
anaemia, and bone lesions). These changes are based on the
identification of biomarkers associated with near inevitable
development of CRAB features in patients who would otherwise
be regarded as having smouldering multiple myeloma. A delay
in application of the label of multiple myeloma and
postponement of therapy could be detrimental to these
patients. In addition to this change, we clarify and update
the underlying laboratory and radiographic variables that
fulfil the criteria for the presence of myeloma-defining
CRAB features, and the histological and monoclonal protein
requirements for the disease diagnosis. Finally, we provide
specific metrics that new biomarkers should meet for
inclusion in the disease definition. The International
Myeloma Working Group recommends the implementation of these
criteria in routine practice and in future clinical trials,
and recommends that future studies analyse any differences
in outcome that might occur as a result of the new disease
definition.},
