Understand this condition

Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells in bone marrow. It can affect bone, blood, kidneys, and resistance to infection.

How it is assessed

Blood, urine, monoclonal-protein tests, marrow, and imaging are selected as appropriate. Kidney and bone health are assessed together.

Care pathways

Drug combinations, selected stem-cell transplantation, and other treatments may be discussed. Bone, infection, pain, and kidney support are part of care.

Important distinctions & limits

MGUS and smouldering myeloma are not automatically active myeloma. CAR-T applies only to selected products, indications, and patients.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
