MGUS
MGUS Monitoring Service in Dorset
Mid Dorset Primary Healthcare Ltd, working together with Advanced Healthcare, will now provide the MGUS Monitoring Service for all GP surgeries and hospitals in Dorset.
What is MGUS?
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a condition related to myeloma, but it is not a cancer. Most people with MGUS will notice no effect on their general health.
Regular check-ups are important, as they help us monitor your health and spot any changes early.
For more information on what MGUS is, visit the Myeloma UK website:
