Currently, the determination of disease burden in multiple myeloma is suboptimal. Myeloma cells may not secrete abnormal immunoglobulins or free light chains, limiting blood and urinary analysis (1). Imaging by radiography and MRI is limited, and approximately 30% of myeloma lesions are not appreciable by 18F-FDG PET (2). Bone marrow biopsies are also limited by the limited sites that can be sampled (3). Thus, better methods of detecting, localizing, and quantitating myeloma cells are needed.

Letter to the EditorLenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug that is recommended and widely used as part of induction therapy and maintenance for multiple myeloma (MM) [1]. Lenalidomide maintenance is associated with significantly improved progression-free and overall survival, as shown in several clinical trials and meta-analyses [2,3,4,5,6,7]. Most patients tolerate lenalidomide well; however, fatigue and diarrhea are common side effects in the maintenance phase [3, 7, 8].
