Relation of comorbidities and patient navigation with the time to diagnostic resolution after abnormal cancer screening.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) presents a high risk of progression to symptomatic MM (sy-MM). Herein, we analyzed some predictors of development of sy-MM. In 144 patients with SMM, we also compared the risk of progression predicted by bone marrow plasma cell (BMPC) involvement on the bone marrow biopsy (B...
