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.
