What Is Myeloma?

Multiple Myeloma is a rare and aggressive blood cancer, still has no known cure.

 

Also known as Myeloma, is one of the most common form of blood cancer. Myeloma attacks a type of immune cell called the plasma cell, found in the bone marrow.

 

The causes of Myeloma are still unknown. However, certain risk factors may
influence the chances of developing Myeloma. These include age, race, gender, family history, and prolonged exposure to chemicals, pollutants, radiation, pesticides and herbicides.

 

Over 30,000 Canadians today live with Multiple Myeloma, and many more are diagnosed each year.
