   Extractions: Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cell, is an incurable but treatable disease. While a myeloma diagnosis can be overwhelming, it is important to remember that there are several promising new therapies that are helping patients live longer, healthier lives. The estimated frequency of multiple myeloma is 4-5 new cases per 100,000 persons per year. Accordingly, in the USA 15,270 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2004. At present there are approximately 50,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma. This section is designed to serve as a fundamental resource for education about multiple myeloma. It provides a detailed overview of the disease and includes: Definition Multiple myeloma (also known as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma) is a progressive hematologic (blood) disease. It is a cancer of the plasma cell , an important part of the immune system that produces immunoglobulins (antibodies)

   Extractions: Cancer Center To Learn More About This Topic: Chat with Us Email Us Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma type of white blood cells. Myeloma cells tend to collect in the bone marrow and in the hard, outer part of bones. Sometimes they collect in only one bone and form a single mass, or tumor, called a plasmacytoma. In most cases, however, the myeloma cells collect in many bones, often forming many tumors and causing other problems. When this happens, the disease is called multiple myeloma. Please note that cancer is classified by the type of cell, or the part of the body, in which the disease begins. Although plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma affect the bones, they begin in cells of the immune system. This type of cancer is different from bone cancer, which actually begins in cells that form the hard, outer part of the bone. You should know this because the diagnosis and treatment of plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma are different from the diagnosis and treatment of bone cancer. According to the International Myeloma Foundation, there are over 13,500 new cases of Myeloma in the U.S. each year, representing twenty percent of blood cancers, and one percent of all types of cancer. The incidence varies from country to country, with a low of 1 in 100,000 in China to approximately 1 in 400,000 in most Western industrialized countries. Myeloma is more common in blacks that whites, with the male/female ratio 3:2. The incidence rises with age. Better diagnostic techniques and the higher average age of the general population may explain the rising incidence of myeloma over the past several decades. More patients under age 55 are being diagnosed with myeloma; risk factors include exposure to atomic radiation, petroleum products, pesticides, solvents, heavy metals and and airborne particles.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Multiple myeloma is characterized by the excessive growth and malfunction of plasma cells in the bone marrow. The growth of these extra plasma cells interferes with the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets . This causes anemia , susceptibility to infection, and increased tendencies toward bleeding. As the cancer cells grow and expand in the bone marrow, they also cause pain and destruction of the bones. If the bones in the spine are affected, compression of the nerves may result causing numbness or paralysis Renal failure (kidney failure) is a frequent complication caused by excess calcium in the blood that results from bone destruction. Multiple myeloma mainly affects older adults. Other risk factors are unknown. This disease is rare and only 3 new cases per 100,000 people per year occur in the US.
