Unmasking Multiple Myeloma and Its Precursor Conditions in Primary Care

Overview / Abstract:	For multiple myeloma (MM) patients to receive the most appropriate care, a quick and accurate diagnosis is paramount. This is especially the case for Black patients, as diagnosis has historically been slower in Black patients"even though MM is twice as common in Black Americans than in White Americans. Additionally, MM precursor conditions such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance are seen more frequently in Black Americans than in White Americans. Primary care providers (PCPs) are in the best position to identify patients with MM or its precursor conditions, but diagnosing these conditions is challenging, as the signs and symptoms of MM and its precursor conditions are variable, often nonspecific, and overlap with many other health conditions.
