Understand the role of free light chains in plasma cell disorders
Learn how FLC testing supports the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of multiple myeloma and other paraprotein-related diseases.
Free Light Chains: Is the “Gold Standard” Still Really a Standard?
Abstract
In this 60-minute webinar, Pr. Oliver Frey will notably:
- Introduce plasma cell neoplasms and other diseases with paraprotein
- Explain the role of free light chains (FLC) in diagnosis and follow-up of plasma cell neoplasms
- Give an overview on available free light chain assays: technical and methodological aspects
- Outline what is important in selecting a FLC assay: reference interval, CKD, clinical performance
- Detail lessons learned when switching FLC assays
What will you learn?
Evaluate and select the most appropriate FLC assay
Explore the technical and methodological differences between available assays, including the impact of reference intervals and chronic kidney disease (CKD) on result interpretation.
Apply best practices when transitioning between FLC platforms
Gain practical insights into assay switching, clinical performance considerations, and strategies to ensure consistent patient monitoring and accurate clinical decision-making.
The free light chains are now a biomarker of malignancy
