What is Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. These cells normally help fight infections by producing antibodies. In multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells multiply uncontrollably, crowding out healthy blood-forming cells and producing harmful proteins that can damage bones, kidneys, and other organs.
