Tissue factor is a key component in the initiation of coagulation and may play a role in cancer related processes such as hypercoagulability, tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. An early study by (Flanga et al., 2008) showed an increased expression of TF in hematologic malignancies as acute myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia. However, the role of TF in multiple myeloma has not been studied in detail
