Multiple myeloma : what a non-haematologist should know

© Royal College of Physicians 2022. All rights reserved..

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of haematological bone marrow malignancy. Cancer Research UK reports that MM is the 18th most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 2% of all new cancer cases, yet, non-haematologists often lack familiarity with the pathology and initial investigations. This paper aims to demonstrate the diagnostic features, relevant investigations and basic management plan for the non-specialist.
