To assess the cancer risk of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) we identified 1229 cases of MGUS in the period 1978 to 1993. Data on cancer occurrence in the MGUS cohort were obtained from the Danish Cancer Registry. The expected numbers of cancer cases were calculated from ag
