In what way is the liver is affected by multiple myeloma?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is usually not: Usually myeloma doesn't attack the liver but many of the drugs we use to treat it do have effects on the liver. Also, a related type of cancer called amyloidosis can invade the liver and other organs and interfere with their function.

Usually not: The liver is not usually affected by myeloma however clusters of myeloma cells can rarely deposit in the liver. These are called plasmacytomas.
