The term monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance(MGUS) indicates the presence of a monoclonal protein(M-protein) without features of multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia, primary amyloidosis or malignant lymphoproliferative disorders(LPD). While several guidelines on the treatment of LPD exist, many doubts and perplexities still exist on who should treat a MGUS, when and how. Even where MGUS does not require any therapy, the risk of progression to a LPD is 1% per year. This risk does not diminish over time and persists even in patients(pts) whose condition has remained stable for decades, and a prolonged follow up is, therefore, recommended. We met primary care doctors to share and agree on criteria for the management of outpatients with MGUS. Our aim is to draw up guidelines or, at least, suggestions that may help to determine which MGUS pts could be cared for by the primary care doctor and which should be followed by the hematologist. We suggest that once a MGUS is diagnosed, the primary care physician will attend patients with M-protein < 15 g/L if Ig G and pts with M-protein< 10 g/L if Ig A or Ig M, without end-organ damage and without signs and symptoms of LPD. However, a hematological evaluation is recommended for patients with M-protein Ig G > 15 g/L, or M-protein Ig A > 10 g/L, or Ig M > 10 g/L, or any M-protein with end-organ damage(not attributable to any others causes) or with signs and symptoms of LPD, or rapidly increasing M-protein(> 5 g/L per year).

贝多芬说:我情愿写10000个音符,也不愿写一个字母。而我,情愿用10000个字,去换贝多芬的一个音符。但我知道,他根本不稀罕。有什么办法?在伟大的艺术与它谦卑的粉丝之间,就存在着这种不平等。但我依旧虔诚地朝拜着,并且相信:每写下10000个字,就与音乐圣殿的距离又近了一个音符……  每次听到美国作曲家史提芬·福斯特创作的这首民谣《我梦见珍妮》,都挺有感触:不仅心动于“珍妮”那宛若雷诺阿画笔下林中
