We thought it would be helpful as a world wide community to look at some Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma statistics around different parts of the world. This information was difficult to find an not available in many countries.
Canada*
About 4,800 people in Canada are expected to develop leukemia in 2010
In 2010 about 8,430 Canadians will be diagnosed with lymphoma.
Most will be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma- an expected 7,500 people.
About 2,300 people in Canada are expected to be diagnosed with myeloma in 2010. Myeloma is most common in people aged 50 and older.
Austraila**
For women, the number of new cases of cancers of lymphoid and haematopoietic tissue is
projected to increase by 37% from 3,316 in 2001 to 4,536 in 2011.
For men, the number of new cases is projected to increase by
35% from 4,297 in 2001 to 5,811 in 2011.
United Kingdom***
Around 7,000 people were diagnosed with leukaemia in the UK in 2007, that?s around 20 people every day.
Around 420 new cases of leukaemia were diagnosed in children under 15 in 2007 in the UK.
About 10,920 people were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the UK in 2007.
For all other countries in all parts of the world, here is an interesting?chart?with Leukemia Statistics.
We encourage you to do additional research on your own about these cancers in your own countries. We appreciate the worldwide attention this site has received and hope that you will spread the work about these blood cancers.
