Additional Information

Clonal disorders result from the proliferation of a single cell. Because they have the potential to become malignant they are treated in the same way as malignancy.

Reason for Change

Monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) moved to the ‘Discretionary’ section, and a reference to the ‘Malignancy’ entry added.
