Abstract
Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the United States, with 32,270 new diagnoses and 12,830 deaths estimated in 2020 (Siegel et al., 2020). Incidence is slightly higher in men than in women and almost twice as high in African Americans than in other races (National Cancer Institute, 2020). Median age of onset is 69 years, and the five-year survival rate is 53% (National Cancer Institute, 2020).Keywords
