The Eunice & Milton Ring Multiple Myeloma Fund was established through the generosity of Eunice Ring with the goal of supporting groundbreaking multiple myeloma research at the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy (a form of blood cancer, specifically a plasma cell cancer) which can affect patients’ blood counts, bones, and kidneys. Myeloma is the second most common form of blood cancer, and the incidence is twice as high in the African American community. The Karmanos Cancer Institute is committed to elucidating the biology behind this risk disparity and also to factors which contribute to the cancer’s resistance to therapy.
