Bad To The Bone
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that develops from plasma cells in the bone marrow1. Myeloma cells (abnormal plasma cells) can form tumours in the bone; when there are multiple tumours the condition is referred to as multiple myeloma. About 1.5% and 1.2% of new cancer cases in men and women, respectively, are multiple myeloma. The lifetime probability of developing multiple myeloma is less than 1%2.
