African-Americans and women are less likely than Caucasians and men to undergo bone marrow transplantation to treat cancers of the blood, according to a new analysis. The study's results indicate that additional research is needed to determine why disparities exist in access to bone marrow transplantation and also that the medical community should work to eliminate these inequities.
