Prevalence and Consequences of a Delayed Diagnosis in Multiple Myeloma: A Single Institution Experience

CONCLUSION: A delay in the diagnosis of MM is very frequent in México (68% of cases); despite the fact that there was a significant trend for being in earlier stages of the disease and being diagnosed within 3 months from the onset of symptoms, we did not find a relationship between a delay on the diagnosis of the disease and a higher risk of complications and/or poor prognosis. Possible explanations to these findings are discussed.PMID:38555259 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2024.03.004
