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 83,367 cases in 2011 in the United States.[2] Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma & 14th most common cancer overall in United States.[3][4][5] Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females.[6] Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American and Native Pacific Islanders race. Asian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma.[7] The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 65 to 70 years years.[8] It is estimated that 77,617 people currently live with multiple myeloma in the United States.[9]
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.[10]
- In 2014, multiple myeloma constituted approximately 1.4 percent of the estimated new cancer cases.[11]
- In 2015, the estimated incidence of multiple myeloma is 1.6% of all new cancer cases and 1.9% of all cancer mortality cases.[12]
- Multiple myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[13]
- Since 1975, the overall multiple myeloma incidence has increased nearly 1 percent annually.[14]
Prevalance
- Myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[15]
- Multiple myeloma is the second most prevalent blood cancer (10%) after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[3][16]
- There are approximately 76,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma. [17]
- Multiple myeloma represents approximately 1% of all cancers and 2% of all cancer deaths.[18]
- In 2012, there were an estimated 89,658 people living with multiple myeloma in the United States.[19]
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.[20]
Gender
- Multiple myeloma affects slightly more men than women.
Race
- Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American and Native Pacific Islanders race. Asian and Native Indian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma.[21]
- Among African Americans, multiple myeloma is one of the top 10 leading causes of cancer death. [22]
