Background Patients with myeloma who relapse after high-dose chemotherapy have few
therapeutic options. Since increased bone marrow vascularity imparts a poor prognosis in …

Bone marrow plasma cells (PCs) from 74 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM),
5 with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and 31 healthy …

Bone marrow aspirates from 306 patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed by flow
