ultiple myeloma , sometimes called
plasma cell myeloma , arises in bone marrow
and involves the plasma cells, a type of
blood cell that normally plays a crucial role
in the immune response by producing
antibodies. It is classified as a lymphoproliferative disease
and is therefore related to the lymphomas. In some early
classification schemes, multiple myelomas were included in
statistics on lymphomas.
There is considerable variation in the
incidence of the disease. Among men, age-
adjusted incidence rates (per 100,000) range
from a low of 1.6 among Japanese to a high
of 11.3 among blacks, a seven-fold
difference. This difference is particularly
interesting since the opposite relationship
holds for Ewing’s sarcoma, a type of bone
tumor that is extremely rare among ...
