Here are the types of myeloma based on the knowledge base:

1. Multiple Myeloma:
- IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, or IgM Myeloma: Classified based on the type of antibodies produced.
- Non-Secretory Myeloma: Rare cases where myeloma cells produce very few or no antibodies.

2. Refractory Myeloma
- Myeloma that progresses Show Full Answer

Here are the types of myeloma based on the knowledge base:

1. Multiple Myeloma:
- IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, or IgM Myeloma: Classified based on the type of antibodies produced.
- Non-Secretory Myeloma: Rare cases where myeloma cells produce very few or no antibodies.

2. Refractory Myeloma:
- Myeloma that progresses despite treatment, making it more difficult to treat.

3. Light Chain Myeloma:
- Myeloma cells secrete only fragments of antibodies known as light chain proteins (Bence-Jones proteins).
- Subtypes: Kappa Light Chain Myeloma and Lambda Light Chain Myeloma.
- Higher risk of kidney failure.

4. AL Amyloidosis:
- A condition related to myeloma where abnormal proteins build up in tissues and organs.

5. Smoldering Multiple Myeloma:
- An early, asymptomatic form of myeloma.

6. Solitary Plasmacytoma:
- A single tumor of plasma cells, which can occur in bone or soft tissue (extramedullary plasmacytoma).
- Lower risk of progressing to multiple myeloma.

7. Localized Myeloma:
- Cancer confined to one area of the body, different from widespread multiple myeloma.

8. Relapsed Myeloma:
- Myeloma that returns after a previous effective treatment.

Each type has unique characteristics and implications for treatment and prognosis.
