Context: Treatment of Isolated Plasmacytoma of Bone / Treatment Options for Isolated Plasmacytoma of Bone
About 25% of patients have serum and/or urine M protein present. Generally, this disappears after adequate radiation therapy to the lytic lesion.
The survival rate of patients with isolated plasmacytoma of bone treated with radiation therapy to the lesion is greater than 50% at 10 years, which is more favorable than the survival rate of patients with disseminated multiple myeloma.[1]
