What was measured

Microvessel density was estimated by determining the average number of cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34)-stained microvessels in 10 areas of maximal MVD counted at a high-power field (h.p.f. x 500 magnification). Large vessels and vessels in the periosteum on bone were excluded. Areas of staining with no discrete breaks were counted as a single vessel. The presence of a lumen was not required.

Analysis population: Three patients with MM did not undergo bone marrow biopsies and were not included in this analysis.

Groups in this outcome

Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM)is a premalignant plasma cell proliferative disorder.

MM (Multiple Myeloma)

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell neoplasm.
