Researchers have identified a wide array of environmental factors linked to the development of multiple myeloma (MM). However, the exact causes of MM are still not fully understood. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Family History: People with a first-degree relative diagnosed with myeloma are two to four times more likely to be diagnosed with myeloma than someone without a family history. However, most people diagnosed with myeloma have no family history.
- Environmental Factors: Various environmental factors have been linked to the development of myeloma, but specific lifestyle questionnaires may not be standardized due to the complexity and variability of these factors.
