Plasma Cell Proliferative Index Is an Independent Predictor of Progression in Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
Abstract
Abstract
The plasma cell proliferative index (PCPI) provides an insight into plasma cell biology in plasma cell disorders. It recognizes cells that are actively synthesizing DNA and gives an indication of the proliferative rate of the malignant plasma cells.The PCPI has been shown to be a prognostic tool in patients with multiple myeloma and amyloidosis.
