myeloma: Patient responses to myeloma drug treatments
Description
Murakami et al. (1997) studied the effect of drugs treatments on levels of serum beta-2 microglobulin in patients with multiple myeloma.
Serum beta-2 microglobulin is produced in the body as a result of myelomas, and thus can be used as an indicator of the severity of diseasesource
