What Is Multiple Myeloma? (https://www.myeloma.org/what-is-multiple-myeloma)
Our bone marrow creates plasma cells that make antibodies, which play an important role in fighting off viruses and bacteria. Multiple myeloma causes the bone marrow to create dysfunctional antibodies and plasma cells. A malignant plasma cell or cancer cell is referred to as a myeloma cell.
Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. The malignant plasma cells, or myeloma cells, accumulate in the bone marrow. These myeloma cells are abnormal plasma cells that divide uncontrollably, leading to the overproduction of dysfunctional antibodies and crowding out healthy blood cells.
