Abnormal tumor microenvironment and immune escape in multiple myeloma (MM) are associated with regulatory T cells (Tregs), which play an important role in maintaining self-tolerance and regulating the overall immune response to infection or tumor cells.

Today on Medscape UK we're going to talk about COVID-19 and the impact in patients with cardiovascular disease and also its impact on us as a profession of cardiologists and healthcare professionals working within the cardiovascular space. So, what is COVID-19? Well, in December 2019, the...
Certain cancers such as leukemia and multiple myeloma Your RF levels may also be elevated simply because of advanced age (70-plus), even if you’re healthy. Given the range of health issues that can cause an RF spike, RF tests can yield positive results in people who don’t have RA or...
Experts say his death shows how important it is for more people to get vaccinated and stop the spread of the virus, Jen Christensen reports. Powell was fully vaccinated, but a source close to the matter confirmed to CNN he had multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that would have ...
This is different. We're just pushing back gently. We're not putting people in remission. That approach makes a lot more sense than it would in a multiple myeloma. That's a big distinction that I would like to make and why it's rational to do something like that. Jain: Absolutely. ...
“I’m so sure that there are going to be many more people like me that get this myeloma and have careers and things that they love to do that entail being physical. And if that’s who you are, then just knowing that it is possible to return to some level to that, it’s good ...
A single potentially life-threatening lesion, a myeloma lesion, was identified in a subject with symptomatic knee OA on their second MRI scan in a longitudinal study. Conclusion As musculoskeletal MRI is increasingly used clinically and for research purposes, the potential for detecting unsuspected ...
Figure 2. Basic workup for suspected multiple myeloma, light chain amyloidosis, or other plasma cell dyscrasia. AL = light chain amyloidosis; IFE = immunofixation electrophoresis; IS = immunosubtraction; MM = multiple myeloma; PCD = plasma cell dyscrasia; sFLC = serum free light chain; SPEP...
Aside from TP53, there is little information on the prognostic importance of mutations in MM. Often other mutations in the DNA repair pathway, including ATM (3.9%) and ATR (1.6%), are associated with poor outcome. In the UK Myeloma XI trial, the combined signal from ATM and ATR mutations...
