Lymphoma involves the abnormal growth of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, in the lymphatic system. Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow.
The exact causes of verisyövän are not fully understood, but risk factors can include genetic predispositions,
Diagnosis of verisyövän typically involves blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, and imaging scans. Treatment options depend
