Microreview of Multiple Myeloma

Abstract

The blood cancer, multiple myeloma, is a troubling illness that can compromise bone health, and in extreme cases, lead to death.  A research experiment spearheaded by a team of doctors in 2013 revealed promising findings that could aid in the identification of the cause of this type of cancer.  This article will look at how the invention of the PathSeq program might change scientists’ understanding of multiple myeloma and allow for more accurate disease testing in the future.
