The sponge-like part of the bones is called bone marrow. Stem cells are found deep in the marrow. They eventually develop into platelets, red blood cells (RBCs), or white blood cells (WBCs).
Cancer of the bone marrow happens in the marrow and starts to multiply rapidly or in an odd way. Bone marrow cancer or blood cancer is cancer that starts in the bone marrow.
Frequent infections
Anaemia
Bone pain
Confused state of mind
Constipation
Increased thirst
Leg weakness
Fatigue
In case you are experiencing any of the mentioned, visit a bone marrow cancer hospital to avoid any delay in the diagnosis and treatment.
The plasma cells are where multiple myeloma starts. White blood cells (WBCs) are antibodies to protect your body from germs. When your body makes too many plasma cells, this can lead to the growth of tumours.
In leukemia, the body makes blood cells that don’t work right and don’t die when they should. As their numbers increase, they overwhelm white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, hindering their ability to function.
Lymphocytes are types of cells that grow out of proportion in lymphoma. This leads to tumours, which make it difficult for the immune system to function.
Bone problems:
Multiple myeloma can also hurt your bones, making them weaker and more likely to break.
Low red blood count:
Multiple myeloma can cause anaemia and other blood problems as the myeloma crowd the healthy blood cells.
Constant infections:
Your body also can’t fight off infections when it has multiple myeloma.
Decreased kidney function:
Multiple myeloma can make it hard for the kidneys to work and even lead to kidney failure.
One or more tests may be recommended to diagnose a congenital heart defect. These include:
M protein test, an antibody called monoclonal immunoglobulin, is often made by myeloma cells. The level of M protein in a patient’s blood and urine is used to determine the extent of the disease.
Immunoglobulin levels are checked to determine how many antibodies are in the blood.
A bone marrow specialist may take a sample of bone marrow to test in a lab. A long needle is stuck into a bone to take the sample.
An MRI uses magnetic fields to make detailed pictures of the body. An MRI can show if myeloma cells or plasmacytomas have taken over normal bone marrow cells.
Typically, a chemotherapy regimen or plan consists of several cycles administered over a specified length of time. Usually, many medications are administered to a patient at the same time. Myeloma has been effectively treated with the use of combination chemotherapy.
This treatment inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells and limits the harm they can cause to healthy cells. Targeted therapy, also known as novel therapy, has become more efficient at managing myeloma and enhancing prognosis.
Immunotherapy, also known as biologic therapy, is meant to help the body’s natural defences fight cancer. It employs substances produced by the body or in a laboratory to enhance, target, or restore the immune system's functionality.
A bone marrow transplant is a medical treatment performed by a bone marrow transplant doctor that replaces cancerous bone marrow with highly specialized cells. In the bone marrow, these cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, differentiate into healthy red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are blood-forming cells in both the circulation and bone marrow.
Your pulmonologist will also ask you about your symptoms and any other health problems you may have.
Multiple myeloma sometimes doesn’t show immediate signs; hence, early diagnosis can be difficult. But bone marrow cancer can be treated completely when identified at the right time.
People with bone marrow cancer have very different chances of getting better. If a person is diagnosed with cancer before it spreads, it is more likely that they will respond well to treatment and stay cancer-free for years after going into remission. Bone marrow cancer is aggressive in some people.
Some types of bone cancer in stage 4 can be treated, but the treatments can be extensive. The success of treatment depends a lot on how well the treatment team can remove the tumours through surgery. Most of the time, chemotherapy is done before surgery to shrink the tumour. Speak to your doctor about the bone marrow cancer cost to prepare a plan.
70% of people who need a bone marrow transplant do not have a family member who is a match. Someone with leukemia, another blood cancer, or lymphoma can get a bone marrow transplant to save their life.
Bone cancer can start in any bone, but it usually happens in the pelvis or the long bones of the arms and legs. Bone cancer is not very common. It makes up less than 1% of all cancers. Bone tumours that are not cancerous are much more common than ones that are.

“My father had stage 3 bone marrow cancer, and we found out only in that stage as he was perfectly fine. We visited numerous hospitals but nothing was satisfactory. After looking online we reached Sri Ramakrishna Hospital. The doctors were very welcoming and patient with us. They gave many options that we could choose for treatment. Luckily we opted for a non-surgical method and now he is completely free of cancer without any surgery.”
“When my brother was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, the doctors suggested bone marrow transplant. He was getting treated at the Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, as it was our health partner for many years now and we completely trust the doctors. Only because of the doctors at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital he recovered from bone marrow cancer.”
