Recherche de corrélation entre la réduction tumorale et la durée de vie des patients atteints de myélome. (Étude rétrospective sur 20 ans de 261 cas)

In 156 cases of multiple myeloma, the degree of response and the survival duration were signicantly correlated but several discrepancies were noted. Tumor mass regression, calculated mostly from M. component levels, is an inaccurate and, at times, misleading predictor of survival.
