MMRF – What Is Multiple Myeloma?
Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation gives a thorough introduction to multiple myeloma by describing different aspects of the disease such as its definition, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and more. This reader-friendly guide also offers helpful images and tables of information.
This is an excellent intro to MM for new patients! Can you add a bit about the significance of various chromosomal anomalies found with FISH and chromosomal bone marrow studies? In terms of etiology, what about an acute infection stimulating MGUS (precursor condition) to full blown MM? And common locations of plasmacytomas in the body. It is a fascinating condition for which immunotherapy and genetic engineering will one day become standard treatment over chemotherapy, I predict. Thank you!
