Flow Cytometric Definition and Prognostic Effects of Multiple Myeloma Cancer Stem Cells
The investigators' hypothesis is that, multiple myeloma plasma cells derivate from principal
cells that is called "cancer or progenitor stem cell". In multiple myeloma to define
immunophenotyping features of these "cancer stem cells" with flow cytometry and to show
their prognostic value and check for any relationship between cancer stem cell
quantification and chemotherapy response are main aims of this study.
