Increased Bone Marrow Plasma Cell Percentage Predicts Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients

Previous old reports suggested that a higher bone marrow plasma cell percentage (BMPC%) was associated with worse outcomes. However, it is unknown if BMPC % was an independent predictor, as the genetic information was not available at that time. Currently, the impact of BMPC% at diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) is not well described.
