Overview

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. It primarily affects the bone marrow and can lead to bone damage, anemia, kidney problems, and immune system compromise. Early diagnosis and expert care are crucial for improving outcomes and quality of life.

Symptoms

Symptoms of multiple myeloma may include bone pain (especially in the spine or ribs), fatigue, weakness, frequent infections, anemia, kidney dysfunction, high calcium levels, and unexplained weight loss.

Risk Factors

Risk factors include increasing age, male gender, African-American ethnicity, family history of multiple myeloma or other blood cancers, and certain environmental exposures such as radiation or chemical exposure.
