Education for health professionals involved in the care of myeloma patients

Myeloma, which is also called ‘Multiple Myeloma’ is a type of blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow (the spongy centre of our bones). Our bone marrow is the production centre for all types of blood cells including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Myeloma originates from a specific white blood cell found in the bone marrow called a plasma cell. Plasma cells play an important role in our immune system by producing different antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) that help fight off infection.
