What Is Multiple Myeloma?

Battling cancer begins with being armed with essential information about the disease.

Multiple myeloma is blood cancer related to leukemia and lymphoma. In this disease, the plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) multiply and grow out of control, leading to an accumulation or overflow of cancer cells in the bone marrow. Eventually, blood cancer cells overwhelm healthy cells, and the body becomes unable to produce disease-fighting antibodies. Instead, it creates harmful proteins that reduce kidney functions and cause other signs and symptoms.

Multiple Myelomas We Treat at New Hope

There are many different types of multiple myeloma. In general terms, the two types of multiple myeloma are:

Hyperdiploid (HMM)

With hyperdiploid, myeloma cells have excess chromosomes. It is usually less aggressive and accounts for about 45 percent of multiple myeloma cases in the United States.

Non-hyperdiploid or hypodiploid

Non-hyperdiploid myeloma cells have fewer chromosomes than normal. It is more aggressive than hyperdiploid and affects about 40 percent of multiple myeloma patients.

Multiple Myeloma Symptoms

Early multiple myeloma tumors rarely manifest themselves. When signs and symptoms occur, they vary for each individual and may include:

  • Bone pain, particularly in the back or chest
  • Unexplained bone fractures, usually in the spine
  • Frequent infections or fevers
  • Fatigue or feeling of weakness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Unintended weight loss
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Mental confusion
  • Constipation
  • Excessive thirst and urgency to urinate

Take note that these signs of multiple myeloma may suggest other health problems. Discuss any symptoms with a doctor to receive an accurate diagnosis.

Multiple Myeloma Causes

The exact cause of multiple myeloma is not understood. However, specific factors can make someone more likely to develop the disease. For example, people with solitary plasmacytoma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are at higher risk. Other uncontrollable factors for multiple myeloma include being older than 65 and having a family history of blood cancers. Further, African-American males are twice as likely as white Americans to develop the disease. Radiation exposure and obesity are the only known controllable factors that may reduce one’s risk of multiple myeloma if avoided.

Multiple Myeloma Diagnosis

Tests for multiple myeloma begin with your doctor asking questions about your health and medical history. If any symptoms signal multiple myeloma, your doctor may use one or more of the following tests to arrive at an accurate diagnosis:

  • Blood or immunofixation (IFE) test
  • Urine test
  • Bone marrow aspiration
  • Bone density scans
  • X-rays
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
  • Positron emission tomography (PET) scans
  • Biopsy
