Immunohistochemical expression of endoglin offers a reliable estimation of bone marrow neoangiogenesis in multiple myeloma.

Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate CD105 tissue marker in the bone marrow (BM) of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. CD105 was evaluated using immunohistochemical method. An effort was made to correlate this marker with BM microvascular density (MVD) along with other known markers of angiogenesis in order to evaluate its clinical significance.
