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 & 14th most common cancer overall in United States.[4][5][6] Male are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than female. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[7][8] Multiple myeloma usually affects individuals of the African American and Native Pacific Islanders race. Asian individuals are less likely to develop multiple myeloma.[9] The incidence of multiple myeloma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 65 to 70 years years.[10]
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.[11]
- In 2014, multiple myeloma constituted approximately 1.4 percent of the estimated new cancer cases.[12]
- In 2015, the estimated incidence of multiple myeloma is 1.6% of all new cancer cases and 1.9% of all cancer mortality cases.[13]
- Multiple myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[14]
- Since 1975, the overall multiple myeloma incidence has increased nearly 1 percent annually.[15]
Prevalance
- Myeloma is the 14th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.[16]
- Multiple myeloma is the second most prevalent blood cancer (10%) after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[4][17]
- There are approximately 76,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma. [18]
- Multiple myeloma represents approximately 1% of all cancers and 2% of all cancer deaths.[19]
- In 2012, there were an estimated 89,658 people living with multiple myeloma in the United States.[20]
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.[21]
- Multiple myeloma is a common malignancy of older patients above 40 years old (70% of cases are diagnosed between 50 and 70 years of age.[22])
Gender
- Male are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than female. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[23]
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.[24]
- Among African Americans, multiple myeloma is one of the top 10 leading causes of cancer death. [25]
