CML incidence rates in different races

[Guest guest]

I thought this was quite interesting. Unless I'm misunderstanding

this graph, it appears that there's a higher incidence of CML among

black men and women than there is among whites.

Then when you look at the expanded graphs, it shows that American

Indians (I assume this means Natives), Hispanics, and Asians have a

much higher incidence than even Black Americans. The jump in

incidence rates for Asians, Hispanics and Natives, seems to only be in

the last couple of years though which I find peculiar.
