Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that produce antibodies. Multiple myeloma can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, bone pain, and recurrent infections. Diagnosis is typically made with a combination of physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies. Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation, and medications to manage symptoms. With treatment, many people with multiple myeloma can achieve remission (when there are no active cancer cells). Some people may need ongoing treatment to control their disease. <br><br>Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that produce antibodies. Multiple myeloma usually starts in the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. The cancerous plasma cells crowd out healthy blood cells, leading to less oxygen being carried in the blood and fewer infection-fighting white blood cells. This can cause fatigue, weaknesses, and infections.<br><br>Multiple myeloma often doesn't cause any symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do occur, they can include bone pain, bone weakness or fractures, fatigue. Multiple myeloma is a form of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that helps to fight infection by producing antibodies. In multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells multiply out of control and crowd the healthy blood cells in the bone marrow. This can cause problems such as anemia (low red blood cell count), infections, and other serious health problems.<br>https://www.secondmedic.com/blogs/multiple-myeloma-cause-prevention-symptoms-diagnosis-treatment <br><br>
