If we talk about this disease here, it is a kind of blood cancer which starts from plasma cells. Plasma cells are white blood cells (WBC), which make antibodies to help the body fight infection. In multiple myeloma, these cells start growing very rapidly in the bone marrow i.e. the muscle tissue located inside the bone. This can cause tumors to form in the bones and start releasing harmful proteins into the blood. When plasma cells grow too much, they suppress healthy blood cells, causing the body to not function properly.
Sometimes the disease progresses so much that other body parts like the kidneys may also get damaged.
Here the symptoms of this disease are not common, when the problem increases then its symptoms appear in serious condition. It may be to changes in genes, exposure to certain chemicals and weak immune system. Talking about its risk factors, it mostly happens to people after 60 years of age. This disease is more common in men than women.
If we know about the treatment of this disease, it is treated like cancer. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stem cell transplant, immunotherapy and some supportive therapies are used, by which its effects can be controlled.
