Myeloma

The latest news, research, and perspectives in multiple myeloma. Myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the proliferation of malignant plasma cells that produce monoclonal immunoglobulin. These neoplastic cells result in characteristic clinical features that include bone lytic lesions, hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, and anemia.
