Myeloma is a type of bone marrow cancer arising from plasma cells and is the second most common form of bone marrow cancer, but represents just 1% of all cancers.

Each chapter has been written to &’stand alone&’, allowing the reader to dip into a particular subject and find information quickly without the need to browse through multiple chapters.
