Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. Unlike other cancers, multiple myeloma primarily disrupts the bone structure, making it a critical area of concern for patients. Bones are particularly affected because myeloma cells stimulate osteoclasts (cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue) while suppressing osteoblasts (cells that build bone).
