Multiple myeloma (MM) is a tumor that is characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells inside the bone marrow, which is the factory of blood cells and found inside the bones of the spine vertebral, the skull, the pelvis, the rib cage and the areas around the shoulders and hips. We all have plasma cells, a type of white blood cells in a proportion no greater than 5%, which are responsible for producing immunoglobulins, proteins capable of attacking germs before an infection. Under normal conditions, mature plasma cells manufacture a single type of immunoglobulin throughout their existence and do not reproduce.
