Multiple myeloma ISS stage

International Staging System for multiple myeloma (Greipp 2005): β2-microglobulin and albumin map to stage I–III.

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

β2-microglobulin
3.2
Albumin
4

Result: Multiple myeloma ISS stage I (beta2-microglobulin 3.2 mg/L, albumin 4 g/dL; beta2-microglobulin < 3.5 and albumin >= 3.5) -- median overall survival ~62 months in the 2005 derivation cohort.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

I
β2-microglobulin < 3.5 mg/L AND albumin ≥ 3.5 g/dL; median OS ~62 months.
II
Neither the stage-I nor the stage-III definition; median OS ~44 months.
III
β2-microglobulin ≥ 5.5 mg/L; median OS ~29 months.

What you enter

  • β2-microglobulin (mg/L)
  • Albumin (g/dL)
