Can you have a predisposition to multiple myeloma or lymphoma?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but uncommonly: There are studies of large databases that show some inherited risks for both--but still most cases are not associated with an inherited risk. http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/content/106/2/668.full.pdf.
