From: Biological determinants of health disparities in multiple myeloma
a, b, c Age-adjusted rates of multiple myeloma incidence (a), mortality (b), and 5-year survival percentae (c) in all races (red, diamond), blacks (green, circle), and whites (blue, square) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) between 1975 and 2014. Despite the 2–3 times higher incidence and mortality observed among blacks with multiple myeloma, the 5-year survival for blacks is equal to superior to whites given the year
