Overview

Multiple myeloma may be divided into three stages based on either the International Staging System (ISS) or Durie-Salmon Staging System.[1] The International Staging System for multiple myeloma was published by the International Myeloma Working Group in 2003 and is the most widely used staging system.[1][2] It is used for both guiding treatment as well as predicting prognosis. The Durie-Salmon staging system, first published in 1975, is a clinical staging system for multiple myeloma that correlates measured myeloma cell mass to the presenting clinical features, response to treatment, and survival.[3] Durie-Salmon Staging System is still in use, but has been largely superseded by the more practical ISS and revised ISS [1]

Staging

International Staging System

According to the International Staging System (ISS), there are three stages of multiple myeloma based on both β2-microglobulin and albumin levels:[1] [2]

Stage Features Prognosis
Stage 1
β2-microglobulin <3.5 mg/L and albumin ≥3.5 g/dL
Median survival of 62 months
Stage 2
β2-microglobulin <3.5 and albumin <3.5
or
β2-microglobulin 3.5-5.5 mg/L
Median survival of 45 months
Stage 3
β2-microglobulin >5.5
Median survival of 29 months


Revised International Staging System

The Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) was proposed in 2015 and incorporated chromosomal aberrations and LDH level to more accurately risk stratify patients.[4]

Stage Features Prognosis
Stage 1

and

and

  • Absence of high-risk chromosomal abnormalities such as del(17p), t(4;14), or t(14;16)

and

  • Normal LDH level
5-year overall survival of 82%
5-year progression-free survival of 55%
Stage 2

Not Stage 1 or Stage 3

5-year overall survival of 62%
5-year progression-free survival of 36%
Stage 3
β2-microglobulin >5.5 mg/L, and

either

  • Presence of high-risk chromosomal abnormalities such as del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), or
  • Elevated LDH level
5-year overall survival of 40%
5-year progression-free survival of 24%


Durie-Salmon Staging System

According to the Durie-Salmon Staging System, there are three stages of multiple myeloma based on the hemoglobin level, calcium level, skeletal survey, serum parapprotein level, and urinary light chain excretion:[1]

Stage Hemoglobin level Calcium level Skeletal survey Serum paraprotein level Urinary light chain excretion
Stage 1
>10g/dL
8.5-10.2 mg/dL
Normal or single plasmacytoma or osteoporosis
<5 g/dL if IgG or <3 g/dL if IgA
<4 g/24h
Stage 2
8.5-10g/dL
10.2-12 mg/dL
Fulfilling the criteria of neither 1 nor 3
5-7 g/dL if IgG or 3-5 g/dL if IgA
4-12 g/24h
Stage 3
<8.5g/dL
>12mg/dL
3 or more lytic bone lesions
>7g/dL if IgG or
> 5 g/dL if IgA
>12g/24h

Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the Durie-Salmon staging system can be divided into A or B depending on serum creatinine:[1]

  • A: serum creatinine < 2mg/dL (< 177 umol/L)
  • B: serum creatinine > 2mg/dL (> 177 umol/L)


SWOG Staging System[5]

The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) staging system is not currently widely used. Unlike the other staging systems, there are four stages in the SWOG staging system.

Stage Features
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
β2-microglobulin >5.5 mg/L and albumin >3 g/dl
Stage 4
β2-microglobulin >5.5 mg/L and albumin <3 g/dl
