Immunohistochemical Analysis of B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) as a Novel Marker in Correlation with Its Serum Level to Predict Multiple Myeloma Patients' Outcome
Abstract:Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) producing monoclonal proteins and inducing specific organ and tissue damage. This study aimed to evaluate the expression and serum level of B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and its prognostic value in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.
Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 60 patients who were classified into two equal groups including gro… Show more
