Abstract:Introduction:
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia causing damage of multiple organs with fatal consequences for patients. Despite the success of modern therapies eliminating a vast bulk of the aberrant cells, surviving residual clones eventually lead to the relapse of the disease. Accumulation of genomic alterations during the stage of minimal residual disease (MRD) likely contributes to a selective grow advantage and survival under the drug pressure. Identification of specific muta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
