Description
Arora and co-authors review a key choice in smoldering multiple myeloma, a quiet blood disorder with no symptoms. Some patients stay stable for years, while others progress to full myeloma. Care has long meant close watch, with treatment held back.
New risk scores and new drugs have revived debate about treating high-risk patients early. The review weighs trial and watch-based study results on survival, time to progression, side effects, and quality of life. It sets out where early therapy may help and where watchful care still seems safer for patients today.
