Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells. When you have multiple myeloma, your plasma cells change and grow faster than normal.
At your diagnosis and throughout your treatment, you will have regular labs done. These measure important markers that can show how well treatment is working to control myeloma.
Understanding your myeloma lab results can be confusing. This page will help you understand your myeloma markers and track your treatment history.
