@colleenyoung I meant the The IPSS-R score categorizes patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, which directly influence treatment timing, intensity, and monitoring strategies.

@colleenyoung No classification. My husband was just diagnosed and I'm just learning about the disease. I was aware of the info you posted about the different types. Is this something I can determine from the bone biopsy.
I did contact the oncologist about IPPM but was told that wasn't used.
My next question will be about the classification. I just wondered how common this was.
Thanks
