Genetic program activity delineates risk, relapse, and therapy responsiveness in multiple myeloma

Abstract Despite recent advancements in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), nearly all patients ultimately relapse and many become refractory to multiple lines of therapies. Therefore, we not only need the ability to predict which patients are at high risk for disease progression but also a mean...
