The interaction of multiple myeloma (MM) with its bone marrow (BM) microenvironment is important for the homing pattern, survival, and proliferation of malignant plasma cells. We aimed at answering the question which cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors are typically found in the BM of untreated MM patients as well as in MM patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT).
