- About 36,000 new cases will be diagnosed ( 20,150 in men and 15,850 in women).

In the United States, the average lifetime risk of getting multiple myeloma is less than 1% — about 1 in 108 for men and 1 in 133 for women. But each person's risk might be higher or lower than this, based on their risk factors.
Multiple myeloma is most common in older people. Less than 1% of these cancers are diagnosed in people younger than 35. Most people diagnosed with multiple myeloma are at least 65 years old. The average age of people diagnosed is 69.
