Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Genetic changes including hyperdiploidy, IgH translocations, and cyclin D gene dysregulation seem to be important in the transition from a normal plasma cell to a pre-malignant plasma cell such as that found in MGUS or smouldering myeloma 2. Clonal expansion of a single pre-malignant plasma occurs which produces excess paraprotein of one of the immunoglobulin types (e.g. IgG, IgM). However, further changes are needed to transition into a myeloma cell 2."

Line 14:167 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-malignant'.
