EpiCast Report: Acute Myeloid Leukemia – Epidemiology Forecast to 2026
Summary
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), also known as myelogenous leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia, or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, is a rare cancer that accounts for a disproportionally high number of cancer-related deaths. The disease is more common in the elderly, and is relatively more common in men than in women (ACS, 2013; O’Donnell et al., 2012). AML starts in the bone marrow, where the developing white blood cells-including granulocytes and monocytes-mature abnormally, grow uncontrollably, and quickly overcrowd the blood, spreading into other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, and brain (ACS, 2013; ASCO, 2012). The symptoms are nonspecific and may include weight loss, fatigue, fever, problems with bleeding and clotting, and swelling of the liver and spleen (ACS, 2013).
In 2016, the 7MM had 43,592 diagnosed incident cases of AML. This is expected to increase to 52,526 diagnosed incident cases of AML by 2026, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 2.05%. The increase is driven by the aging population in the 7MM.
In 2016, the 7MM had 57,581 five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of AML. This is expected to increase to 66,743 by 2026, at an AGR of 1.54%. The US had the highest number of diagnosed incident and five-year prevalent cases of AML. The development of more effective therapies, particularly for elderly patients, would improve survival and increase disease prevalence.
Our epidemiologists provide a detailed segmentation of the diagnosed incident and five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of AML by subtypes and risk group classification, which are both important factors for predicting the prognosis in patients as well as specific treatment modalities for AML.
The report “EpiCast Report: Acute Myeloid Leukemia – Epidemiology Forecast to 2026”, provides an overview of the risk factors and the global and historical epidemiological trends for AML in the seven major markets (7MM): US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan.
In addition, this report also includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the following segmentations in adults ages 18 years and older across the 7MM –
– Diagnosed incident cases of AML (adjusted for coding differences between cancer registries), segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older
– Five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of AML, segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older
– Diagnosed incident cases of APL and secondary AML, segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older
– Diagnosed incident cases of AML with mutations (FLT3-ITD [internal tandem duplications], FLT3-TKD [tyrosine kinase domain], IDH [isocitrate dehydrogenase] 1 and IDH2), core binding factor (CBF) AML with KIT mutation, and biomarker CD33+
– Diagnosed incident cases of AML classified into favorable-, intermediate-, and adverse-risk groups.
Scope
– The Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) EpiCast Report provides an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, and global trends of AML in the 7MM (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan). It includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for the following segmentations in ages 18 years and older across the 7MM: diagnosed incident cases of AML, segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older; five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of AML, segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older; diagnosed incident cases of (acute promyelocytic leukemia) APL and secondary AML, segmented by ages 18-59 years and ages 60 years and older; diagnosed incident cases of AML with mutations (FLT3-ITD [internal tandem duplications], FLT3-TKD [tyrosine kinase domain], IDH [isocitrate dehydrogenase] 1 and IDH2), core binding factor (CBF) AML with KIT mutation, and biomarker CD33+; and diagnosed incident cases of AML classified into favorable-, intermediate-, and adverse-risk groups.
