Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell. Plasma cells make antibodies to help your body fight infection. You may have high amounts of plasma cells that do not work correctly. Your body may make so many plasma cells or antibodies that they damage your bones and other healthy tissue.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is a blood cancer in which the bone marrow produces ineffective red cells which carry oxygen, white blood cells which fight infection and/or platelets which help in clotting. It is a bone marrow failure disorder.
