Black Americans have roughly twice the incidence of multiple myeloma as white Americans, with recent studies finding that Blacks are also less likely to receive the latest myeloma treatments or combination therapies, and more likely to encounter delays in receiving treatment, including transplants. Participants will learn about myeloma, including symptoms and treatment options. Additional information will be provided on clinical trials and the role they play in the treatment of myeloma. Resources available through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will be reviewed.
