Abstract
The new diagnostic criteria was published by the International myeloma working group at the end of 2014 already. Particularly changes in multiple myeloma (MM) and its "smoldering" form are so fundamental that we could not wait with their publication to the next release of overall recommendations.
Therefore Czech Myeloma Group responded by issuing Supplement no. 2 of its guidelines. The aim of this article is to introduce the newly recommended criteria for the diagnosis of MM, including a comparison with the previous criteria.
