Former US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, passed away at the age of 84 this past Monday. Mr. Powell was being treated for multiple myeloma, which is a relatively uncommon cancer of bone marrow cells.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 35,000 new cases will be diagnosed in 2021. Dr. Scot Ackerman joined WJXT to discuss symptoms, risk factors, screening, and treatment options to be aware of for multiple myeloma.
