Which are the causes of Multiple myeloma?
Causes of Multiple myeloma explained: genetic and environmental factors, reviewed against medical sources, plus patient perspectives.
Since many of my co-workers in the auto manufacturing industry have numerous forms of cancer, I believe environment plays a big role in the cause of numerous ailments. Aside from that, diet and life habits would be at the top of my list as well. Common sense tells me that genetics likely plays a role too.

The causes of multiple myeloma are unknown but there are several factors that may increase your risk. They include age (most people are 50 or older), race (twice as many people people are African-American), being a man, being overweight, and having others in the family with multiple myeloma.
The only risk factor I have is being overweight. However I have an aunt who has a different blood cancer called Walden strums. So, we are beginning to think it could be genetic.

I think their are many causes. For one, a lot of firefighters that fought 9/11 have found they have myeloma. Second, I do think that things like Roundup or other sprays near food could be the cause. I don't think anyone actually knows.
