Description of multiple myeloma cases and assessment of survival and mortality factors in Madagascar.
    Hematology (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2023, Volume: 28, Issue:1

    In Madagascar, the epidemiologic, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of multiple myeloma remain poorly understood. Our objectives were to describe the cases, report factors associated with mortality, and estimate patient survival.. This was a retrospective descriptive and analytical study conducted in five teaching hospitals in Madagascar: HJRA and CENHOSOA (Antananarivo), CHUPZAGA (Mahajanga), CHUAT (Toamasina) and CHUT (Fianarantsoa). The study included patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021.. Of the 11,374 cancer patients, 75 (0.66%) had multiple myeloma. The mean age of the patients was 59.9 years (±8.9) and the sex ratio was 1.5. Arterial hypertension was observed in 32% of the patients. The most common symptom of myeloma was bone pain (. Patient survival is shorter than reported in the literature. The high mortality rate is due to comorbidities and limited access to recommended therapies.

    Monoclonal gammopathies are common abnormalities and their incidence increases with age. They are detected in roughly 3 % of people older over 50 years and up to 7 % of those over 70 years. Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the proliferation of plasma cells within the bone marrow and excess secretion of monoclonal immunoglobulins. In Madagascar, late performance of biological examinations such as serum protein electrophoresis overestimates MM rates. We studied 54 patient records between March 2009 and January 2015 in the biology laboratory of the Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona university hospital in Antananarivo (Madagascar). Monoclonal gammopathy was associated with multiple myeloma in most cases (88.9 %). Patients' median age was 64.2 years. Men were slightly more affected than women. It is discovered most frequently due to bone symptoms (83.3 %), and anemia is always present. Monoclonal gammopathy is mostly IgG. The bone marrow study showed medullary plasmacytosis. This disease appears most often in the elderly and has a slight male predominance. Bone marrow cytology is mandatory for diagnosis.
