Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 178: The Singular Epidemiology of Plasmacytoma and Multiple Myeloma in French Guiana

Conclusions: In our territory, the incidence of PC and MM was higher and patients were diagnosed at a substantially younger age than in mainland France. Women had a greater incidence than men, and there was an increasing temporal trend of incidence among women. African ancestry and the frequency of obesity, notably among women, could have contributed to this observation.
