- survival of patients with plasma cell myeloma as redrawn from
- published illustrations. The left two panels are from a Canadian NCI
- study [ref: 203] and show the separate effects of clinical stage and
- renal function, respectively. The right panel depicts an Arizona

- stage and renal function integrated with the use of the clinical
- staging system shown in Table 45.4-4. Statistical comparisons of
- survival outcome for the various stages and risk groups in the studies
