Social determinants of health associated with multiple myeloma incidence and survival among a low-income cohort in the Southeastern U.S.
December 31, 2026 · Hematology (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Key takeaway
This study found that living in poorer neighborhoods can double the risk of developing multiple myeloma for Black adults. This matters because understanding these living conditions can help us find better ways to prevent this cancer and address health differences in our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cardiovascular helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
