Overview
Mesothelioma is a rare disease which accounts for 5-28% of all malignancies that involve the pleura.[1] The incidence of mesothelioma is estimated to be 3,000 cases annually.[2] The incidence of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[3] Males are more commonly affected with mesothelioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.[1]
- The incidence of mesothelioma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis for pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma are 74 years and 68 years, respectively.[4] There is no racial predilection to mesothelioma.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Mesothelioma is a rare disease which accounts for 5-28% of all malignancies that involve the pleura.[1]
Incidence
- The incidence of mesothelioma is estimated to be 3,000 cases annually.[2]
- The incidence of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[3]
- The incidence of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 1.2 per 100,000 individuals in Canada.[3]
- The incidence of mesothelioma has decreased over several decades in the United States coincident with diminishing occupational asbestos exposure and has remained stable since 2003.[4]
Age
- Males are more commonly affected with mesothelioma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.[1]
- The incidence of mesothelioma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis for pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma are 74 years and 68 years, respectively.[4]
Race
- There is no racial predilection to mesothelioma.[1]
