This handbook is an in-depth and comprehensive guide to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, staging, treatment and management of patients with multiple myeloma. The Handbook was commissioned to address an unmet need for a book of this kind in the myeloma field and to provide busy healthcare professionals with an informative and educational review of the current and emerging treatment recommendations for multiple myeloma. Myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer arising from plasma cells and is the second most common form of bone marrow cancer, but represents just 1% of all cancers. The causes of myeloma are not fully understood but it is thought to be caused by an interaction of both genetic and environmental factors. This Handbook discusses these issues as well the latest developments in the field and will be an invaluable source of topical information for all healthcare professionals with an interest in multiple myeloma.

Description MULTIPLE MYELOMA MANUAL A Definitive step by step guide on the effective treatment for multiple myeloma Multiple myeloma is an uncommon form of cancer that affects the bone marrow as well as mutates or alters the blood's plasma cells. In other words, multiple myeloma occurs when healthy cells transform into abnormal cells that multiply and produce irregular antibodies referred to as M proteins. This change begins a cascade of medical problems and issues that can affect your bones, your kidneys and the capability of your body to produce healthy white and red blood cells (erythrocytes) and platelets. Multiple myeloma is uncommon, thus affecting around 7 individuals out of 100,000 individuals per year. Healthcare professionals estimate around 100,000 individuals in the United States of America have multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma which affects more men than women affects twice as many individuals who are black as it does individuals who are of other races.
