Summary
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is characterized by an overgrowth of abnormal plasma cells, which can cause damage to the bones, weaken the immune system, and produce an excess of certain proteins in the blood. Symptoms of multiple myeloma may include bone pain, fatigue, anemia, kidney problems, and frequent infections.
