Awareness, diagnosis and myeloma: lessons from Black communities
Published:
For many of my patients from African or Black Caribbean backgrounds, awareness of myeloma is almost non-existent before diagnosis.

That lack of awareness contributes to delays in diagnosis and makes it harder for people to seek help early.
