What is multiple myeloma?

Multiple myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer which can often affect multiple areas of the body, such as the spine, pelvis, ribs and skull, and it is most prevalent in older patients. Multiple myeloma can cause damage to bones, kidneys, blood and immune systems.

A diagnosis for multiple myeloma can be made by carrying out imaging tests (x-ray, CT, PET or MRI scan), blood tests, urine tests or bone marrow tests.

The importance of an early diagnosis

Although in some cases multiple myeloma can be managed over time using anti-myeloma medication, it is clearly vital that the disease is diagnosed as early as possible so that treatment can be commenced at the earliest opportunity to prevent a poorer outcome. Common treatment options include chemotherapy, steroid therapy, drug treatment, bone marrow transplants or radiation therapy. Additionally, patients receiving intensive treatment may receive a stem cell transplant.
