Second primary malignancies in multiple myeloma: A review

Christina Poh et al.

Summary: As survival times of multiple myeloma patients improve, the risk of second primary malignancies becomes more relevant among survivors. Long-term use of certain medications and treatments may increase the risk of SPM, but most studies suggest that the benefits of therapy outweigh the risks of SPM.

Cumulative exposure to melphalan chemotherapy and subsequent risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes in patients with multiple myeloma

Gudbjorg Jonsdottir et al.

Summary: In this Swedish study, it was found that increased cumulative doses of alkylating therapy with melphalan increase the subsequent risk of developing AML/MDS in MM patients. Future studies will be important to further define long-term risks in MM patients.

The mutagenic impact of melphalan in multiple myeloma

Francesco Maura et al.

Summary: The identification of mutational processes in multiple myeloma, including a new mutational signature caused by exposure to high-dose melphalan, has been made possible through whole genome and exome sequencing. Exposure to high-dose melphalan increases mutational burden between diagnosis and relapse, with most mutations occurring in heterochromatin and late-replicating regions, rarely affecting key myeloma driver genes.
