Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that arises from plasma cells in the bone marrow. While the exact cause is not fully understood, several risk factors have been identified, including genetic predispositions, age, and exposure to certain chemicals or radiation. Additionally, conditions like monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) may precede myeloma, indicating a potential progression from benign to malignant. Ultimately, a combination of genetic and environmental factors likely contributes to its development.
