Circulating microRNAs Correlate with Multiple Myeloma and Skeletal Osteolytic Lesions

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequent hematological disease and can cause skeletal osteolytic lesions. This study aims to evaluate the expression of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in MM patients and to correlate those levels with clinicopathological features, including bone lesions. A pa...
