Multiple Myeloma
EPIC Pharma’s specialised team in Haematology supports a widely used treatment option for Multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell made in the bone marrow. Healthy plasma cells help you fight infections by making antibodies that recognize and attack germs. In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells. About 361 people are diagnosed with myeloma in Ireland every year. There are several treatments that can slow down and control multiple myeloma very well. In 2019, around 2,000 people were living with myeloma in Ireland.
