What is the prevalence of Multiple myeloma?
How many people does Multiple myeloma affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
All I know for sure about this is that more people are diagnosed with MM every year, but I think this has something to do with our aging population and improved diagnostic techniques/tools.

Multiple myeloma effects less than 1% of the population in the United States.
