In 2011, the incidence of multiple myeloma was estimated to be 6.1 cases per 100,000 people per year, the prevalence as 83,367 people, and the mortality as 3.4 per 100,000 cases per year in the United States.

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. The prevalence of multiple myeloma was estimated to be 89,658 cases in 2012 in the United States. Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer after [[non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]] and 14th most common [[cancer]] overall in United States. Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females; the male to female ratio is approximately 1.54 to 1. Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American race. Asian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma. The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age.

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. The prevalence of multiple myeloma was estimated to be 89,658 cases in 2012 in the United States. Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 14th most common cancer overall in United States. Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females; the male to female ratio is approximately 1.54 to 1. Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American race. Asian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma. The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age.
