Despite new efficacy drugs and cell therapy have been used for multiple myeloma (MM) patients, some patients will relapse over time. We wonder the immune system play a vital role as well as MM cell during the development of disease. It is clear that the characteristic of myeloma cell is associated with the survival of MM patients. However, the link between the immune profiling and the prognosis of the disease is still not entirely clear. As more study focus on the role of immunity on multiple myeloma pathogenesis. There are plenty of study about the predictive role of immunity on the survival of multiple myeloma patients. Up to mow, the majority reviews published have focused on the immunotherapy and immune pathogenesis. It is indispensable to overlook the predictive role of immunity on multiple myeloma patients. Here, we give a review of vital previous works and recent progress related to the predictive role of immune profiling on multiple myeloma, such as absolute lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocytes and cytokines.
