Article Synopsis
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is more common in African Americans (AAs), and younger AA patients (<65 years) show better overall survival than younger White patients despite equal healthcare access.
- In a study of 2243 VA patients, the deletion of chromosome 17p (del17p), which is linked to worse prognosis, was found less frequently in AAs (5.56%) compared to Whites (10.52%).
- There was no significant difference in survival for both races among patients with del17p, but younger AAs without del17p still had a notable survival advantage over their White counterparts, implying other factors contribute to their better outcomes.
