Review Title: Tracking of low disease burden in multiple myeloma: Using mass spectrometry assays in peripheral blood
Abstract: Efforts over the last 5 years have demonstrated that it is technically feasible to detect low levels of monoclonal proteins in peripheral blood using mass spectrometry. These methods are based on the fact that an M-protein has a specific amino acid sequence, and therefore, a specific mass. This mass can be tracked over time and can serve as a surrogate marker of the presence of clonal plasma cells. This review describes the use of mass spectrometry to detect M-proteins in multiple myeloma to date, identifies the challenges of using this biomarker, and describes potential strategies to overcome these challenges. We discuss the work that must be done for these techniques to be incorporated into clinical practice for tracking of low disease burden in multiple myeloma. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
