Overview

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that begins in plasma cells — a kind of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. These abnormal plasma cells build up and affect the body’s ability to fight infections, produce healthy blood cells, and keep bones strong.

For many patients, the diagnosis comes after symptoms like back pain, fatigue, or repeated infections. While myeloma is usually a chronic condition, modern treatments now help patients live longer, healthier lives with good quality of life. My goal is to provide advanced, personalized therapy with compassionate care, supporting patients and their families at every step.

Most Commonly Found Symptoms

Expert Insights by Dr. Pushpendra H. Hirapara – Myeloma Specialist in Ahmedabad

Myeloma symptoms can be subtle or resemble common conditions like back pain or fatigue. According to Dr. Hirapara, early detection and targeted treatment greatly improve outcomes.

Bone Pain

Especially in the back, hips, or ribs, due to weakened bones.

Frequent Infections

Reduced immunity makes patients more prone to infections.

Fatigue & Weakness

Due to anemia (low red blood cells).

Unexplained Fractures

Fragile bones may break even with minor falls or stress.

Kidney Problems

High levels of abnormal proteins can affect kidney function.

Numbness or Tingling

Nerve damage caused by bone or spinal involvement.

When to See a Dr. Pushpendra H. Hirapara

If you experience persistent bone pain, frequent infections, or unexplained fatigue, it’s important to get evaluated. Early diagnosis allows for better treatment choices and improved quality of life.

My Approach to Lung Cancer Care

Myeloma is a complex disease with multiple subtypes and stages.

Here’s how I approach each case:

Accurate Diagnosis – blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, imaging (PET/CT, MRI) to confirm disease.
Personalized Treatment – therapy tailored to age, fitness, and disease stage.
Advanced Systemic Therapy – chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and biological therapies.
Stem Cell Transplant – autologous stem cell transplant for eligible patients, offering durable control.
Comprehensive Support – bone-strengthening medicines, infection prevention, and pain management.

Understanding Different Types of Myeloma Cancers

Multiple Myeloma can appear in different forms depending on how the cancer behaves, spreads, and affects the body. Some types begin quietly without symptoms, while others are active and may impact bones, kidneys, or blood counts. Each type is diagnosed using blood tests, urine tests, scans, and sometimes a bone marrow biopsy, helping doctors choose the most effective and personalized treatment plan.

Smoldering Myeloma (SMM)

An early, silent form of myeloma where cancer cells are present but have not yet caused symptoms or organ damage. Patients are monitored regularly to detect progression.

Active (Symptomatic) Multiple Myeloma

This form causes symptoms such as bone pain, anemia, kidney problems, or high calcium levels and requires immediate treatment to prevent complications.

Non-Secretory Myeloma

A rare type where cancer cells do not produce measurable M-protein, making diagnosis and disease monitoring more challenging.

Light-Chain (Bence Jones) Myeloma

Cancer cells produce only light chains instead of complete antibodies. It often affects kidney function and requires specialized monitoring.

Extramedullary Myeloma

Myeloma cells spread outside the bone marrow to organs or soft tissue, often indicating a more aggressive form of the disease.

Solitary Plasmacytoma

A single tumor of plasma cells, commonly in the bone or soft tissue. Patients may remain stable or progress into full multiple myeloma later.

Get the Right Evaluation for Your Myeloma Type

After understanding the different types of myeloma, the next step is getting a proper medical assessment. Each type behaves differently, and early guidance from Dr. Pushpendra H. Hirapara can help determine the most suitable diagnostic and treatment approach for your condition.

Specialized Myeloma Cancer Treatment

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, the blood cells responsible for producing antibodies. It can present in different forms, ranging from silent and symptom-free stages to aggressive disease affecting bones, kidneys, immune function, and blood counts. Symptoms may include fatigue, bone pain, frequent infections, anemia, or kidney problems, though some early cases show no signs. Diagnosis involves blood and urine tests, bone marrow examination, and imaging studies to determine disease activity and damage. With modern treatments such as immunotherapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, and supportive care, patients can receive personalized treatment aimed at controlling the disease, protecting organs, and improving long-term quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

With Expert Answers by Dr. Hirapara – Myeloma Cancer Specialist & Oncologist in Ahmedabad

Is multiple myeloma curable?

At present, myeloma is usually a chronic disease. However, with modern therapies, it can be controlled for many years, and patients can live active lives.

What is the role of stem cell transplant in myeloma?

Autologous stem cell transplant remains a standard approach for eligible patients, offering longer remission and better outcomes.

How is myeloma different from lymphoma or leukemia?

Myeloma affects plasma cells in the bone marrow, while lymphoma affects lymph nodes, and leukemia starts in early blood-forming cells.

Will I need lifelong treatment?

Many patients require continuous or maintenance therapy to keep myeloma under control, with adjustments based on response.

What are the early signs of multiple myeloma?

Common symptoms include:

- Persistent bone pain
- Fatigue or weakness
- Frequent infections
- Anemia
- Kidney dysfunction
- High calcium levels

Are there new treatments or clinical trials available?

yes. Research is rapidly evolving with promising therapies like:

CAR-T cell therapy
Bispecific antibodies
Next-generation proteasome inhibitors and IMiDs
Dr. Hirapara can help you explore clinical trial options if needed.

What lifestyle changes can help?

A healthy diet, avoiding infections, bone care (avoiding heavy lifting), regular follow-up, and vaccinations are important.
