Plasma cell myeloma
Multiple myeloma, also known as myeloma, is a type of bone marrow cancer.
In the early stages, multiple myeloma may not cause any symptoms or complications, and may only be diagnosed after a routine blood or urine test.
In multiple myeloma, cells inside the bone marrow called plasma cells become cancerous.
Multiple myeloma can be difficult to diagnose because it's an uncommon type of cancer that initially has few or no symptoms.
If you have multiple myeloma, you will be cared for by a team, which is usually led by a consultant haematologist who specialises in myeloma.
