Monoclonal gammapathies and multiple myeloma in particular are among the most common and debilitating malignancies in the elderly population. In the last decade, there have been dramatic developments in basic and applied research in the field. New treatments have become available and treatment standards have changed. Treatment results have substantially improved and the probability of 10-year survival increased from 5% to 20% in the last decade. However, the disease is still incurable. The treatment strategy today includes potentially 3-5 regimens administered over a period of 10 to 15 years. There is increased tendency to apply treatment specifically tailored for a subgroup of patients with a well-defined risk and response rate.
