Özet

Background and aim: The current definition of complete remission (CR) in multiple myeloma (MM) includes negative serum and urine immunofixation (IFE) tests and < 5% bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs). The aim of this study was to examine the impact of BMPC percentage on survival, at diagnosis and pre-transplant period, in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
