Overview
Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma & 15th most common cancer overall in United States.[1][2] Multiple myeloma is a disease of the elderly and is slightly more prevalent in men than women. It is estimated that 77,617 people currently live with multiple myeloma in the United States.[3]

Incidence
- Since 1975, overall multiple myeloma incidence has increased nearly 1 percent annually.[4]
- In 2012, the incidence of multiple myeloma is approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate of 3.3 per 100,000 in the United States.[5]
- In 2014, multiple myeloma constitutes approximately 1.4 percent of the estimated new cancer cases.[6]
Prevalance
- Myeloma is the fourteenth leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[7]
- Multiple myeloma is the second most prevalent blood cancer (10%) after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[1][8]
- There are approximately 76,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma. [9]
- Multiple myeloma represents approximately 1% of all cancers and 2% of all cancer deaths.[10]
- In 2012, there were an estimated 89,658 people living with multiple myeloma in the United States.[11]
Age
- The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is is 65 to 70 years. Though recent statistics indicate an increase in incidence of earlier age of onset in multiple myeloma.[12]
