Bone Marrow Cancer
Bone marrow cancer, also known as myeloma, is a type of cancer that affects the cells located in the soft inner part of the bones. It is caused by the abnormal growth of certain blood cells called plasma cells, which produce an excess of a protein called monoclonal immunoglobulin. Symptoms of myeloma include bone pain, fatigue, frequent infections and anemia. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy and medications, depending on the severity of the disease. Bone marrow transplantation may also be necessary in some cases. Bone marrow cancer has a significant impact on the quality of life of those affected, and early diagnosis and treatment is essential to improve outcomes.
