Would you like to see year-by-year survival rates for multiple myeloma?

Unfortunately, the available data doesn't break down survival rates by individual years. The statistics typically show five-year relative survival rates rather than year-by-year percentages.

Here's what is available:

Five-Year Survival Rates by Age:
- Under age 50: 92.7% for localized myeloma, 76.2% for distant spread
- Ages 50-64: 85.4% for localized myeloma, 68.7% for distant spread
- Age 65 and older: 69.2% for localized myeloma, 51.1% for distant spread

Overall Five-Year Rates:
- Localized myeloma: 79.5%
- Distant myeloma: 59%
- Stage 3 myeloma: 60.4%
- All stages combined: about 61%

It's important to remember that these rates are based on people diagnosed between 2013-2019, so they don't reflect the newest treatments approved in recent years. Survival rates have been improving steadily, especially since 2005 when new treatment options became available.

Your healthcare team can provide more personalized information about your specific situation and prognosis.
