WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO HELP US TO FIGHT MYELOMA

What is myeloma?


Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a type of cancer arising from plasma cells which are found in the bone marrow. 

  • Bone marrow is the ‘spongy’ material found in the bones that produces blood cells i.e. white cells, red cells and platelets Plasma cells form part of your immune system

Normal plasma cells produce antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) to help fight infection.
In myeloma, malignant plasma cells (myeloma cells) in the bone marrow produce large amounts of an abnormal antibody known as paraprotein. Unlike normal antibodies, paraprotein lacks the capacity to fight infection and has no useful function.
It is often through the measurement of this paraprotein that myeloma is diagnosed and monitored.
