Multiple Myeloma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow, which normally produce antibodies. Their abnormal growth can interfere with the production of blood cells and affect the bones.
How it presents: It can cause bone pain, fatigue, fractures with ease, frequent infections, or abnormalities detectable on blood tests.
Why it matters: Because it is a disease of the blood and bone marrow, its evaluation and follow-up are the responsibility of specialized personnel.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who evaluates and follows up on this condition, in coordination with the internist and, when there is bone involvement, the orthopedist; the general practitioner supports the overall follow-up. With persistent symptoms or abnormal lab results, the appropriate course is to see a professional for a proper evaluation.
