Myelofibrosis Epidemiology Analysis and Forecast, 2021-2031
Summary
Myelofibrosis (MF) belongs to a group of diseases called myeloproliferative disorders. MF is a serious bone marrow disorder that disrupts the body’s normal production of blood cells (MedlinePlus, 2020; Mayo Clinic, 2021). MF includes primary MF (PMF), which is idiopathic. At times, essential thrombocytosis (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV) could progress to MF, resulting in post-essential thrombocytosis MF (PET MF) and post-polycythemia vera MF (PPV MF), which are referred to as secondary MF (SMF). MF not only shortens survival but also severely compromises quality of life due to marked splenomegaly and profound constitutional symptoms including fatigue, night sweats, fever or uncomfortable feeling of warmth, weight loss, peripheral edema, pruritus, bone pain, dyspnea, and intractable cough (Mesa et al., 2009; Canadian Cancer Society, 2022).
In the 8MM, diagnosed incident cases of MF (sum of the diagnosed incident cases of PMF and SMF) are expected to increase from 12,276 cases in 2021 to 15,009 cases in 2031, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 2.23%. In 2031, China will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of MF in the 8MM, with 9,302 cases, whereas Spain will have the fewest diagnosed incident cases of MF with 413 cases. In the 8MM, the diagnosed prevalent cases of MF (sum of the diagnosed prevalent cases of PMF and SMF) are expected to increase from 69,236 cases in 2021 to 84,311 cases in 2031, at an AGR of 2.18%. GlobalData epidemiologists attribute the increase in the diagnosed incident cases and diagnosed prevalent cases of MF to changes in the diagnosed incidence and survival rates, and population dynamics in each market.
