    10-Year Survival in Myeloma: Have the Results Improved in the Last Decade?

    We have previously shown that patients with myeloma who survive longer than 10 y in first complete remission (CR) appear to be on a plateau of survival in which life span and quality of life are normal (Powles et al, Blood 2000: 96;2215a). Thus, focusing on 10-y survival data and measures to improve it may be a crucial end-point for long-term quality of life for myeloma patients. We have studied 167 new patients (median age 52 y, 30-68; 63F; 60% IgG; 81% stage III) with myeloma who were planned to receive infusional chemotherapy plus an autograft (70% received it) with minimum follow-up of 10-y (all diagnosed before 1993; analysis in 7/03). Median albumin was 35 g/L, B2M 3.9 mg/L, creatinine 92 mol/L. 10-y survival of these patients was 23%. For 10-y survival, B2M <3 mg/L (P=0.003) and age< 55 y (P=0.02) were the most significant variables predicting better outcome. Patients with pre-therapy B2M <3 and age < 55 y (n=39) had a 10-y survival of 43.4%. (median 9.1 y ) When these 167 were compared with 196 patients treated between 93-03, there was a significant OS advantage(P=0.0025) but as the follow-up of the latter group was shorter, we do not have 10-y follow-up on recent patients. To see whether we can use the minimum 5-y follow-up data to predict 10-y survival, we selected 2 cohorts of patients treated between 1988 -93 (n=118) and 1993-98 (n=100). The patients treated between 93-98 were significantly older (median 54 vs 52 y; P=0.01). Fig 1 shows that median OS of both groups of patients is identical (4.9 y) but patients in 88-93 group had a plateau of survival of 31% when analysed after 5-y of follow-up which dropped to 23% at 10-y follow-up. Patients in the more recent group have a 5-y survival of 39% which if it drops over the following 5 y at the same rate will end up with a 10-y survival of 29%. We have used our mainframe computer to analyze our 1988-93 cohort of patients in 1998 which gives them the same follow-up as is current for 1993-98 group. Fig 2 shows that more recently treated patients are faring better for OS at 10-y (P=0.055). This data shows that it may be possible to predict 10-y data with only 5-y of follow-up and if our improvement in 10-y OS is real in recently treated patients, its probably because of disciplined salvage treatment as the median OS has not changed.
