Multiple myeloma is a form of cancer that
originates in plasma cells, a type of white blood
cell responsible for producing antibodies. This

bone marrow, hindering the production of healthy

    risk factors pointing towards multiple myeloma,
    your healthcare provider will conduct a series of
    tests to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may
    include blood, urine, and imaging examinations to
    ascertain the presence of myeloma. Additionally,
    these diagnostic tests play a crucial role in
    determining the stage of the cancer, providing
    essential information to your healthcare team.
    Let's explore the various tests that your
    healthcare provider might employ in the diagnosis
    of multiple myeloma.
