It causes abnormal plasma cells to multiply, reducing normal blood cell production and weakening bones.
Common symptoms include bone pain, frequent infections, fatigue, anemia, and kidney problems.
Complications can include fractures, high calcium levels, and reduced immunity.
Treatment options include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplant.
