About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma starts in the bone marrow plasma cells. It weakens the immune system and can affect many parts of the body by causing the bone marrow to create dysfunctional antibodies and plasma cells. Living with or treating this disease means making complicated decisions, and this requires searching for reliable, current information on multiple myeloma.
How Can the International Myeloma Foundation Help?
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) connects people to what matters most — research that pushes the field forward, education that clarifies complex topics, support tailored to individual needs, and advocacy that amplifies every voice. Patients, care partners, healthcare professionals, and researchers can access the knowledge, resources, and community they need from the IMF to navigate life with myeloma.
In this week's blog, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) engages in a Q&A with 2026 Brian G.M. Durie Outstanding Achievement Awardee, Dr. Noopur Raje — Director of the Center for Multiple Myeloma and the Rita M. Kelley Chair in Oncology at Massachusetts General (Mass General) Hospital Cancer Center; Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; and a leading expert in multiple myeloma and plasma disorders. Dr. Raje talks about translational research, myeloma clinical trials, optimal sequencing of therapies, and personalizing treatment approaches for patients. READ THE BLOG.

Caring for someone with myeloma, especially during newer treatments like CAR T-cell therapy or bispecific antibody therapy, can bring new questions and responsibilities. The IMF's free, self-paced program offers 10 short video modules and a Care Partner Kit with practical tools to use along the way. Learn how to navigate treatment, recognize side effects, manage everyday care, and find support. START YOUR 10 STEPS.
The IMF offers Myeloma Community Workshops (MCWs), which are shorter, yet still robust, programs in cities across the U.S. Learn more about an MCW in Phoenix, CA, or about an upcoming Virtual MCW. LEARN MORE HERE.
