***Newest Breakthrough***

In the most recent collaboration by WashU Medicine researchers at Siteman Cancer Center, a national team of scientists has created the most detailed “atlas” yet of immune cells inside the bone marrow of people with multiple myeloma — and it’s changing how we understand this rare blood cancer that currently has no cure.

The researchers found that certain immune cells can predict survival and relapse at the time of diagnosis. These unparalleled new insights may:

• Improve survival predictions
• Better guide treatment decisions
• Lead to the development of new immune-based therapies

Advances like this bring us closer to longer survival, fewer relapses and more precise care for patients.

A new "atlas" of immune cells in bone marrow cancer lays the foundation for more reliable prognoses.
