About Multiple Myeloma in Hyderabad
Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow responsible for producing antibodies. In this disease, malignant plasma cells multiply uncontrollably, crowding out healthy blood cells and producing abnormal proteins that can damage the kidneys and other organs. The excessive plasma cell growth also weakens bone structure, leading to bone pain and fractures. It predominantly affects older adults and progresses through stages from an asymptomatic precursor condition to active disease requiring treatment.
