Executive Summary Multiple myeloma (MM) (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision [ICD-10] code = C90) is a hematologic cancer of the white blood cell; more specifically, MM is a cancer of the plasma cell. Normal plasma cells help fight infections by making antibodies that recognize and attack germs, but MM causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow where they crowd out healthy blood cells, impairing their ability to fight infections (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Rather than producing helpful antibodies, the cancer cells produce abnormal proteins called monoclonal (M) proteins that can impair kidney functions (Mayo Clinic, 2014). MM almost always starts out as a relatively benign condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Similar to MM, MGUS is characterized by the presence of M proteins that are produced by abnormal plasma cells in the blood. However, in MGUS, the levels of M proteins are relatively low, and they cause no damage to the body (Khan et al., 2006). In the US, about three percent of people ages 50 years have MGUS, and it is estimated that annually about one percent of people with MGUS develop MM (Khan et al., 2006). On a worldwide scale, in people of all ages, MM is a cancer with an age-standardized incidence of 1.7 cases per 100,000 population in men and 1.2 cases per 100,000 population in women. Geographically, the frequency is very unevenly distributed in the world with the highest age-standardized incidence in Australia, New Zealand, and North America (men = 4.8 cases per 100,000 population; women = 3.0 cases per 100,000 population) and lower incidence in Asian countries (Becker, 2011). Among whites in Western countries, the incidence of MM is expected to increase slowly over the coming decades (Becker, 2011). This report provides an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, and the global and historical trends for MM in the eight major markets (8MM) (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and urban China). The report also includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the diagnosed incident cases of MM, segmented by age (at 10-year intervals, starting at age 40 years and ending at ages 80 years), sex, and clinical stage at diagnosis in these markets. GlobalData epidemiologists also provide a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of MM. To forecast the diagnosed incident and five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of MM in the 8MM, GlobalData epidemiologists selected nationally representative, population-based studies that provided the diagnosed incidence or relative survival rates for MM in the 8MM. Additionally, the forecast is supported by 10 to 15 years of robust, countryspecific, historical data obtained from various authentic sources such as research articles published in peer-reviewed journals; the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program Cancer Statistics Review 1975 2009; the EUROpean CAncer Registry-based 2
Executive Summary study on survival and care of cancer patients (EUROCARE-5); and the International Agency for Research on Cancer s (IARC s) Cancer Incidence in Five Continents CI5plus database, in which the agency provided detailed case segmentation by age and sex, making CI5plus the gold standard for international comparison of country-specific data on cancer (EUROCARE-5, 2014; Ferlay et al., 2014; Howlader et al., 2013; Sankaranarayanan et al., 2011; Tsukuma et al., 2006). As shown in the first figure, GlobalData epidemiologists forecast an increase in the diagnosed incident cases of MM in the 8MM, from 67,557 diagnosed incident cases in 2013 to 97,225 diagnosed incident cases in 2023, with an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 4.39% during the forecast period. In 2023, urban China will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of MM in the 8MM, with 30,073 diagnosed incident cases, whereas Spain will have the lowest number of diagnosed incident cases of MM, with 3,781 diagnosed incident cases in 2023. Similarly, as shown in the second figure, the five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of MM in the 8MM are expected to increase from 168,750 diagnosed prevalent cases in 2013 to 236,866 diagnosed prevalent cases in 2023, with an AGR of 4.04% during the forecast period. The increase in the diagnosed five-year prevalent cases of MM in the 8MM is partly attributed to the moderately rising trend in the incidence of MM in the 8MM, combined with changes in the population demographics in the respective markets. 8MM, Diagnosed Incident Cases of MM, Ages 40 Years, Both Sexes, N, 2013 and 2023 8MM 7MM 5EU China (Urban) US France Italy Germany Japan UK Spain 7,887 6,063 7,322 6,307 7,129 5,857 6,125 5,110 6,075 4,948 3,781 3,053 32,194 26,228 30,073 13,598 28,833 22,621 67,557 67,152 53,959 97,225 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 120,000 Source: GlobalData; Ferlay et al., 2014 Diagnosed Incident Cases of MM (N) 2023 2013 5EU = France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK; 7MM = US, 5EU, and Japan; 8MM = 7MM and China (Urban); MM = multiple myeloma 3
