Epidemiology and Biology of Multiple Myeloma

The most striking epidemiologic finding of multiple myeloma is that it afflicts blacks twice as often as whites. This book comprises papers dealing with this trend, prepared at a workshop sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. Differences in immunologic and risk factors between blacks and whites, the origins of the malignancy, and directions for further research are discussed.
