    Abstract Precursor diseases of multiple myeloma (MM) are monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance and smoldering MM. While it is well known that a percentage of those affected by these conditions will progress to MM, it is difficult to predict who will progress and when, and guidelines for screening for these conditions are lacking. Moreover, there are various models for risk stratification, though there are ongoing efforts to improve these models in order to predict who may benefit from treatment. Finally, there are various clinical trials, both past and ongoing, expanding the scope of possible treatment options for precursor diseases.

  3. Article ; Online: Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and T-cell clones of uncertain significance: are these premalignant conditions sharing a common identity?

    Abstract Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and T-cell clones of uncertain significance are three premalignant conditions characterised by the presence of small clonal cell expansions in individuals without symptoms or signs that distinguish the related overt malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma, and T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia). As most individuals with these precursor states never progress to malignancies, considerable interest has arisen in comprehending the steps involved in the progression to malignancy, providing more accurate models to investigate potential mechanisms of early blood cancer identification, prevention, and, possibly, intervention. Single-cell technologies and recent progress in high-throughput sequencing and multiomics approaches have contributed to a better definition of the pathophysiological mechanisms of these premalignant conditions, moving our knowledge in the field forward. In this Viewpoint, we analyse the seemingly shared biological trajectories in these precursor haematological malignancies in search of common pathogenetic events. In particular, we address the issue of interactions between expanding clones and their immune ecosystem, offering new clues that might prompt innovative ideas and inspire further investigations to understand the cellular and molecular dynamics entailing progression into overt malignant disease. The relationships between the non-leukaemic microenvironmental cells and the leukaemic counterpart, and the primary drivers of their initial clonal expansion, represent shared biologies that suggest a common identity among the premalignant conditions considered in this Viewpoint.

    Abstract Forty years ago this year, smoldering multiple myeloma was defined as a clinical entity that identifies a group of patients with a substantial burden of disease but with a relatively indolent natural history compared with symptomatic disease. Since then, there has been a revolution in the therapeutic options for multiple myeloma. The aim of this article is to describe recent advances in the identification of those patients who are at the highest risk of progression and whether they may benefit from therapy. Treatment of smoldering myeloma is an area of active debate and we present contrasting interpretations of the available trial data. We conclude by identifying the priorities for research that will help to clarify the management of this condition, which can be challenging for physicians and patients alike.

    Abstract Tumor immune tolerance remains a major barrier for effective anti-cancer therapy. A growing number of pathways whereby solid tumors escape immune surveillance have been characterized (1). This progress led us to revisit the "hallmarks of cancer" and brought forward many promising immunotherapies. Every growing bodies of research have brought forward many exciting treatment strategies for hematological cancers like chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Given the distinct characteristics of the different cancers, some benefited profoundly from such therapies while some remain challenging for scientists and physicians. Here, we discuss the unique aspect of hematological malignancies, and briefly review the history, existing and future of immunotherapies for this group of cancer.

    Abstract Graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects have been thought to mostly result from allogeneic transplants; however, there is a growing body of research that supports a possible autologous GVT effect. In early clinical studies, a positive correlation between lymphocyte count recovery after autologous transplantation and overall survival has been observed. However, mechanistic studies to identify the mediators of autologous GVT responses have been lacking. In this issue of the JCI, Vuckovic et al. observed a T cell-dependent autologous GVT effect in the Vk*MYC myeloma model. Moreover, the authors showed that CD8+ T cells mediate myeloma control through IFN-γ secretion, which could be further augmented with a CD137 agonist, suggesting a therapeutic approach for enhancing autologous GVT.
