- In the U.S., 1 out of every 5 myeloma patients is African American—constituting about 20 percent of all myeloma patients.
- These disparities are mostly caused by existing socioeconomic differences and barriers to healthcare access among African Americans with myeloma.
- That’s why it’s so important to get the word out in the African American community to raise awareness about this lesser-known disease.
