9 Techniques in Genetic Analysis of Plasma Cell Neoplasms Conventional Karyotype Cytogenetics Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) Conventional Karyotype Cytogenetics Standard for detecting genomic abnormalities and outcome discrimination in plasma cell myeloma Only ~40% of PCM have identifiable abnormalities Deletion of 13 and hypodiploidy are prognostic karyotype changes These may not have FISHdefined risk abnormalities Karyotypes are courtesy of Michelle Dolan, MD, Univ. of MN, Cytogenetic Lab. Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) >90% of cases have detectable abnormalities Cell sorting or cig FISH improves yield Employed for establishing risk based stratification Ahmann GJ, etal.

12 Biomarkers of Malignancy in PCM Clonal bone marrow plasma cells > 60% Involved:uninvolved serum free light chain ratio >100 >1 focal lesion on MRI studies Diagnostic Criteria for Smoldering (Asymptomatic) Myeloma Both criteria must be met: Serum M protein (IgG or IgA) >3.0g/dL or urinary M protein >500mg per 24 h and/or clonal bone marrow plasma cells 10 to 60% Absence of myeloma defining events (CRAB) or amyloidosis High Risk Smoldering Myeloma Dispenzeri A, etal. Blood 2013;122: year time to progression rates >60% o Extreme bone marrow plasmacytosis (>60%) o Extremely abnormal serum free light chain ratio (>100) o Multiple bone lesions detected only by MRI (>1 focal lesion) Dhodapkar MV, etal.

13 High Risk Smoldering Myeloma Clinical trials have shown that asymptomatic myeloma patients with high risk features could benefit from treatment Delayed time to progression and improved overall survival Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Signif. (MGUS) MGUS is a potentially malignant clonal plasma cell expansion (precursor lesion) Defined by: M protein in serum < 3.0g/dl Marrow plasma cells < 10% and low level of infiltration in trephine biopsies No myeloma related end organ damage (CRAB) Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Signif. (MGUS) ~3% to 4% of persons >50 years of age A significant minority progress to a malignant plasma cell neoplasm Kappa Can not be certain at diagnosis which will remain stable Lambda 13

14 Risk of Progression in MGUS Risk of progression is about 1% per year and indefinite Size and type of M protein and serum free light chain ratio are most significant M protein of 25g/L >4 times risk of <5g/L IgM and IgA are at greater risk (~1.5%/yr.) Fraction of PC with an abnormal immunophenotype DNA aneuploidy Subnormal levels of polyclonal Ig Types of MGUS IgM MGUS (15%) Non IgM MGUS (85%) (70% IgG, 12% IgA) Differences Between IgM MGUS and Non IgM MGUS? Non IgM MGUS Plasma cell Genetics similar to myeloma Rate of progression is 1.0%/yr. IgM MGUS Lymphoplasmacytic MYD88 L265P mutation in ~50% of cases Rate of progression is 1.5%/yr. 14

15 Differences Between IgM MGUS and Non IgM MGUS Non IgM MGUS IgM MGUS Progression to plasma Progression to cell myeloma or primary lymphoplasmacytic amyloidosis lymphoma (WM) or other lymphoproliferative dis. WHO Recommendations on Segregating IgM and Non IgM MGUS Premise IgM MGUS is a distinct biologic and clinical entity whose only relationship to IgG and IgA MGUS is the presence of secreted M protein Recommendation Segregate the two types of MGUS IgM or Lymphoplasmacytic MGUS Non IgM or Plasma Cell MGUS (includes light chain MGUS) Definition of Light Chain MGUS Abnormal free light chain ratio (<0.26 or >1.65) Increased level of the involved free light chain No immunoglobulin heavy chain expression on IFE Urinary M protein <500mg/24hr; Clonal plasma cells <10% Absence of end organ damage (CRAB) or amyloidosis ( Up to 20% of MGUS; Rate of progression is 0.3%/year) 15

16 Criteria for diagnosis of PCN MGUS Smoldering Myeloma Plasma Cell Myeloma <3 g/dl M spike <10% plasma cells* 3 g/dl M spike OR 10% and <60% PCs* > 10% plasma cells* or plasmacytoma NO anemia, hypercalcemia, bony lesions, or renal dysfunction * in marrow Modified from Kyle RA et al. NEJM 2002;346(8): C: high calcium levels (>11 mg/dl) R: renal dysfunction (Cr >2 mg/dl) A: anemia (Hgb< 10 g/dl) B: bone destruction (usually lytic bone lesions) Or Biomarkers of malignancy Criteria for Diagnosis of Solitary Plasmacytoma Solitary lesion of bone or soft tissue consisting of clonal PCs Normal random BM biopsy without clonal PCs Normal skeletal survey and MRI or CT except for the solitary lesion Absence of end organ damage (CRAB) Criteria for diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma with minimal bone marrow involvement: Same as above plus clonal PCs of <10% in random BM biopsy (60% vs. 10% progression in 3yrs.) Solitary Plasmacytoma of Bone 3% to 5% of PCN Spine is most common site (40% 50%) ~50% have M protein in serum or urine ~ 2/3 evolve to plasma cell myeloma Relatively indolent 16

17 High Risk Solitary Plasmacytoma of Bone Additional bone lesions identified only by MRI or PET/CT (~30% of cases) Significantly more likely to progress Considered plasma cell myeloma in new WHO Flow cytometry identification of occult disease 49% to 68% with clonal/aberrant plasma cells More likely to progress (70% vs 10%, med. 26 mo. vs NR) Presence of monoclonal urinary light chains More likely to progress (91% vs. 44%, med. 16 mo. vs 82 mo.) Extraosseous Plasmacytomas Lymph Node Most Common Primary Site ~ 80% in upper respiratory track (Spread to cervical nodes in~15%) Less Common Sites Lymph nodes (primary), salivary glands, thyroid, breast, GI track, CNS, etc. 20% have a low quantity M protein most IgA ~25% local recurrence, occasional spread to other sites ~15% progress to PCM Differential Diagnosis of Extraosseous Plasmacytoma Reactive plasma cell infiltrates Other lymphoid neoplasms that exhibit marked clonal plasma cell differentiation Marginal zone lymphoma Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma Immunoblastic large cell lymphoma 17
