Overview
In 2012, the incidence of multiple myeloma was approximately 6.3 per 100,000 cases with a mortality rate of 3.3 per 100,000 cases in the United States.[1] The prevalence of multiple myeloma was estimated to be 89,658 cases in 2012 in the United States.[2][3] Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 14th most common cancer overall in United States.[4][2][3] Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females; the male to female ratio is approximately 1.54 to 1.[3][5] Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American and Native Pacific Islanders race. Asian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma.[3] The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is approximately 66–70 years with 37% of patients being younger than 65 years of age.PMID: 28061985
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In 2012, the incidence of multiple myeloma waws approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate of 3.3 per 100,000 in the United States.[1]
- In 2014, multiple myeloma constituted approximately 1.4 percent of the estimated new cancer cases.[6]
- In 2015, the estimated incidence of multiple myeloma is 1.6% of all new cancer cases and 1.9% of all cancer mortality cases.[2]
- Multiple myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[2]
- Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy, after non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[7]
- Since 1975, the overall multiple myeloma incidence has increased nearly 1 percent annually.[6]
Prevalance
- Myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[2]
- [8]Multiple myeloma accounts for around 1% of all cancers worldwide and is the second most prevalent hematological neoplasm (10–15%) after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[4][2]PMID:27476706/PMID:24614435
- There are approximately 76,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma.[2]
- In 2012, there were an estimated 89,658 people living with multiple myeloma in the United States.[2]
Age
- The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age where the median age at diagnosis is is 65 to 70 years. Recent statistics concerning earlier age of onset in multiple myelom indicate an increase in incidence among the population.[9]
- Multiple myeloma is a common malignancy of patients above 40 years old (70% of cases are diagnosed between 50 and 70 years of age.[5])
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.54 to 1.[5]
Race
- Among African Americans, multiple myeloma is one of the top 10 leading causes of cancer deaths.[2]
- The incidence of multiple myeloma in the African American population is more than the European American population. PMID: 28061985
