   Extractions: Multiple Myeloma Research Center General information: Multiple Myeloma is part of a spectrum of diseases labeled Plasma Cell Dyscrasia. Plasma cells are the cells responsible for forming antibodies against bacteria and foreign proteins. For reasons that are unclear, these cells lose their ability to respond to controlling signals from a hierarchy of immune cells. Plasma cells then divide and form abnormal proteins, which results in damage to the bone, the bone marrow, and/or other organs of the body. Why Research in Multiple Myeloma: The results of different therapeutic modalities for multiple Myeloma have not changed the course of the disease significantly since the late 1960's. Therefore, we believe that active research and new treatment modalities are a must to achieve our goals in controlling the disease. Over the past 2 years, the understanding of the biology of the disease, has resulted in a large flux of new promising agents that are being studied at the Cleveland Clinic independently and/or in collaboration with other myeloma institutions in the US and Europe. This will allow for better treatments, and hopefully translates in to better quality and survival for the myeloma patients. Research and Development: The Cleveland Clinic Myeloma Research Program focuses on new drug development, as well as studying the effect of the immune system on tumor biology to modify its behavior. Over the past few years the research in the biology area has remarkably improved our understanding to develop less toxic and more rational maintenance therapy. The development of Immunomodulatory agents such as

   Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on multiple myeloma, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1893. M ultiple myeloma is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells that involves more than 10 percent of the bone marrow. It is a prototype primary malignancy of the bone associated with malignant plasma cells that secrete monoclonal immunoglobulins into the serum, the urine or both. Agricultural workers, farmers, sheet metal workers and persons employed in the nuclear industry or who are exposed to wood dust are at increased risk of developing multiple myeloma. The family physician is often the first to identify multiple myeloma. The expertise of an oncologist is then enrolled. Other specialists join the team as needed to address specific concerns or complications. As with other malignancies, the family physician assists the patient and the family in understanding the disease and the treatment-related side effects, and in improving the patient's overall quality of life. In 1850, MacIntyre published the first complete clinical and pathologic narration of "a case of mollities and fragilitas ossium accompanied with urine strongly charged with animal matter." The term "multiple myeloma" was first used to describe the presence of multiple tumors originating in the bone.

   Extractions: Cancer Center To Learn More About This Topic: Chat with Us Email Us Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma type of white blood cells. Myeloma cells tend to collect in the bone marrow and in the hard, outer part of bones. Sometimes they collect in only one bone and form a single mass, or tumor, called a plasmacytoma. In most cases, however, the myeloma cells collect in many bones, often forming many tumors and causing other problems. When this happens, the disease is called multiple myeloma. Please note that cancer is classified by the type of cell, or the part of the body, in which the disease begins. Although plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma affect the bones, they begin in cells of the immune system. This type of cancer is different from bone cancer, which actually begins in cells that form the hard, outer part of the bone. You should know this because the diagnosis and treatment of plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma are different from the diagnosis and treatment of bone cancer. According to the International Myeloma Foundation, there are over 13,500 new cases of Myeloma in the U.S. each year, representing twenty percent of blood cancers, and one percent of all types of cancer. The incidence varies from country to country, with a low of 1 in 100,000 in China to approximately 1 in 400,000 in most Western industrialized countries. Myeloma is more common in blacks that whites, with the male/female ratio 3:2. The incidence rises with age. Better diagnostic techniques and the higher average age of the general population may explain the rising incidence of myeloma over the past several decades. More patients under age 55 are being diagnosed with myeloma; risk factors include exposure to atomic radiation, petroleum products, pesticides, solvents, heavy metals and and airborne particles.

13. Nurturing The Now, An Inner Path To Healing
    The inspiration for this resource was a diagnosis of multiple myeloma; the theme is that of spirituality as a path to inner healing.  
    http://www.bobwoodyard.com
    
    Extractions: Nurturing the Now Nurturing the Now is my concept of living in the present moment. You simply can’t be any other place or in any other time, so why try? We keep trying because the mental mechanism is geared that way. It takes a definite decision to leave pain and suffering, even for a little while. But the payoff is priceless. You must yearn to return....to the living experience that you are. Begin by watching your breath go in and out. Follow it and it will soon slow down. Begin watching your thoughts as they try to scramble out of the present and make a dash into the future or the comfy, cozy past. Actually, as my spiritual teacher said....."Wasn’t it bad enough at the time?" Of course it was, but sentimentality likes to suffer. It embellishes the past with rosy-hued resentment and the seductive slow-burn of being a victim of this or that. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Now-consciousness is always newly-minted. You can only surrender and watch what happens. There is no expectancy or fear....just a commitment to be a witness to what is, which is always a mystery. Prefer mystery to history and you will have it. About Us

Mayo has been a leader in the recognition of new treatments, prognostic factors, and a basic understanding of the biology of the disease. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Plasma cells are found in bone marrow, the blood producing tissue that fills in spaces within bone. Plasma cells produce antibodies, substances that help the body fight infection. Usually plasma cells make up 1 to 2 percent of all cells in the bone marrow. In a person with multiple myeloma, however, abnormal plasma cells (or myeloma cells) multiply. The growth of myeloma cells results in reduced production of blood, which results in anemia. Fatigue is the most obvious
