The prevalence of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is estimated to be 1000-1500 cases in United States annually. Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia represents 1-2% of all hematological cancers. Overall age-adjusted incidence of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is 0.38 cases per 100,000 persons annually, increasing with age to 2.85 in patients above 80 years. Incidence of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia increases after 50 years of age with median age at diagnosis to be 65 years. Men are twice more likely than women to develop WM and there is higher incidence of WM in whites than blacks.
