Natural Remedies for Managing Multiple Myeloma

Modified on Feb 22, 2023

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are responsible for producing antibodies that help the body fight infections. In MM, abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, producing abnormal antibodies, which can damage various organs and tissues in the body.

MM is a relatively rare cancer, with an estimated 34,920 new cases and 12,410 deaths in the United States in 2021 [1].

Symptoms and Diagnosis

The symptoms of MM are non-specific and can include bone pain, fatigue, weakness, recurrent infections, anemia, and kidney problems. As a result, MM is often diagnosed by chance when blood tests reveal abnormalities or when imaging studies detect bone lesions. The diagnosis is confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy, which involves removing a small sample of bone marrow and examining it under a microscope.
