The number of peripheral blood (PB) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) predicts risk of transformation in smoldering multiple myeloma (MM) and survival in active MM. Growing evidence suggests that as the
Despite recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), it remains an incurable disease potentially due to the presence of resistant myeloma cancer stem cells (MM-CSC). Although the presenc
Although new therapies have doubled the survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, this remains an incurable disease. It has been postulated that the so-called MM Cancer Stem Cells (MM-CSC) would be
