Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell neoplasm and is often diagnosed in elderly patients. The increase in the average life expectancy of the population in the Republic of Belarus makes it relevant to study the prevalence, incidence, and mortality from chronic oncological diseases, including multiple myeloma. The article presents the results of a statistical analysis of epidemiological indicators of multiple myeloma based on data from the Belarusian Cancer Registry from 2010 to 2024, as well as data from follow-up monitoring of patients with multiple myeloma residing in the Gomel region from 2020 to 2024.
