| Study parameters In this pilot study a limited number of patients will be analysed to define whether SRS is a feasible approach for diagnostic or prognostic purposes in MM or plasmacytoma. Thirty newly diagnosed upfront patients and 15 relapsed patients will be investigated. In these patients the following items will be investigated: -To define the sensitivity of SRS in MM and plasmacytoma in comparison to X-ray examination. -To test whether SRS can be used as alternative approach to detect skeleton abnormalities for painful affected areas in the case no abnormalities are observed on X *ray examination. -Correlates the SRS uptake with clinical parameters that defines an aggressive MM and disappear the increased uptake upon treatment with intensive chemotherapy and ASCT and or radiotherapy. Subsequently patients treated according to the Hovon-65 protocol will be re-evaluated after 4 courses of chemotherapy but before the ASCT. Patients with a plasmacytoma will be re-evaluated 2 months after the radiotherapy course. | — |
