Included in this spectrum, from least severe to most severe, are monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, smoldering multiple myeloma, and plasma cell myeloma. Each diagnosis carries a different prognosis and requires different clinical management. For example, the median overall survival of patients with Stage I, II, and III PCM has been shown to be 62, 44, and 29 months, respectively, while the median overall survival of patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is expected to be only slightly shorter than that of age-matched controls.1-4 Thus, making the correct diagnosis amongst this spectrum of disorders is paramount for the prognostication and proper clinical management of plasma cell neoplasms. 000008043 650__ $$aBone Marrow$$015725 000008043 650__ $$aAlgorithms$$014437 000008043 6531_ $$acomputer assisted image analysis 000008043 6531_ $$aplasma cell neoplasms 000008043 6531_ $$acd138 antigen 000008043 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008043 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000008043 7001_ $$aNgoc, Tran$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008043 8564_ $$9ff97c992-17d2-4d13-a189-e1c25f145bc7$$s2029387$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8043/files/Ngoc.Tran.2020.pdf 000008043 905__ $$a/rest/prod/w3/76/37/53/w3763753n 000008043 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8043$$pstudent-work 000008043 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
