What happens to MGUS and the M-protein after covid vaccination? Robert Palmason will tell you at 10 am today! iStopMM

COVID-19 vaccination does not increase the risk of MGUS progression. Important data from the iStopMM trial by Robert Palmason Sigurdur Kristinsson #ASH22 #mmsm

This needs to be shared widely with patients I know this was a concern for many #mmsm #myeloma #ASH22 #HealthTreeMM

A new decision tool when deciding on when to do bone marrow sampling in MGUS from iStopMM! Now live online and excellently presented by my great colleague @eliaseythorsson. Check it out!#mmsm #ASH22

Colsevelam for lenalidomide associated diarrhea: high response rate (88%) and importantly, no effect on lenalidomide PK. Come check it out! #ASH22 #mmsm MSKHemOncTrials

❗❗Crucial information from iStopMM Sigurdur Kristinsson ✅there is a large difference in the number of PCs between 1st and 2nd pull samples, due to hemodilution! #mmsm #ASH22 ash.confex.com/ash/2022/webpr…

Jón Þórir Óskarsson has an important poster today from the iStopMM study. By flow he highlights the importance of hemodilution and has come up with a way how to measure and rate the quality of bone marrow samples. Important when defining and measuring MRDpos vs neg

What a brilliant team! The iStopMM Team! Our pleasure seeing you here at #ASH22 #IMFASH22 #myeloma International Myeloma Foundation Michael Tuohy NickL_MyelomaLiving Sæmundur Rögnvaldsson, MD, PhD Brian Durie, M.D. Keep up the outstanding work!

And this is how you do a fantastic educational on myeloma at #ASH22 ! Fabulous session by Sigrun Thorsteinsdottir Caitlin Costello, MD Yvonne Efebera Well done ASH! Congrats #woMMen

The single MOST important study presented at #ASH22 that can impact SO many patients. Please don’t routinely order SPEP/light chains in patients with autoimmune diseases. Such an honor to take a picture with Ingigerður Sólveig by her incredible poster Sigurdur Kristinsson iStopMM #mmsm

The International Myeloma Foundation support group leader team at #ASH22 had the pleasure of listening to @eliaseythorsson present on this new excellent tool. Thank you! iStopMM #IMFASH22 #myeloma Sæmundur Rögnvaldsson, MD, PhD Sigurdur Kristinsson

Great work- iStopMM Patients diagnosed with MGUS clinically have more comorbidities vs MGUS diagnosed through screening Previous associations of some diseases with MGUS (eg osteoporosis) were selection bias rather than biological association! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37439374/ #mmsm

Great presentation by Theresia Akhlaghi showing the importance of dynamic risk assessment in SMM #ASH23 #mmsm Malin Hultcrantz MD PhD

Yet another solid deliverable from the fabulous #iStopMM trial in Iceland. #mmsm 1. No need to screen for MGUS in those with a prior cancer. 2. No change in mgmt in a patient with MGUS who has a prior cancer. haematologica.org/article/view/h…

🧵1/ Our paper is out! A new study from the iStopMM team in JAMA Oncology shows how revising free light chain (FLC) reference intervals can reduce false positives for light chain MGUS (LC-MGUS). Let’s break it down 👇 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…
