Our 24/7 cancer helpline provides information and answers for people dealing with cancer. We can connect you with trained cancer information specialists who will answer questions about a cancer diagnosis and provide guidance and a compassionate ear. 

Our highly trained specialists are available 24/7 via phone and on weekdays can assist through online chat. We connect patients, caregivers, and family members with essential services and resources at every step of their cancer journey. Ask us how you can get involved and support the fight against cancer. Some of the topics we can assist with include:

• Referrals to patient-related programs or resources
• Donations, website, or event-related assistance
• Tobacco-related topics
• Volunteer opportunities
• Cancer Information

For medical questions, we encourage you to review our information with your doctor.

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for multiple myeloma in the United States for 2025 are:

• About 36,110 new cases will be diagnosed (20,030 in men and 16,080 in women).
• About 12,030 deaths are expected to occur (6,540 in men and 5,490 in women).

In the United States, the average lifetime risk of getting multiple myeloma is less than 1% — about 1 in 108 for men and 1 in 133 for women. But each person's risk might be higher or lower than this, based on their risk factors.

Multiple myeloma is most common in older people. Less than 1% of these cancers are diagnosed in people younger than 35. Most people diagnosed with multiple myeloma are at least 65 years old. The average age of people diagnosed is 69.
