There is a cancer stem cell in multiple myeloma?

04 April 2018 0 4K Report

Given that multiple myeloma is a monoclonal neoplasm which is originated from plasma cells, there is a controversy whether there exist cancer stem-like cells in MM or not.

Could you give me your precious comments or opinions?

Thank you in advance!!
