The etiology of Multiple Myeloma is generally acknowledged as obscure.¹ The epidemiology presents a number of puzzles. Most cancers are the affliction of age. Myeloma is more remarkably so, with few cases under the age of 40, (0.3% under 30), 98% above this demarcation line and a median incidence age of 65 years.² Whilst sporadic community³ and familial^4,5 clusters have occurred, and indeed, even husband and wife cases,^6,7 to date no evidence of genetic predisposition has been discovered.⁵ Failure to find a definitive environmental cause for the community clusters might suggest that such cases are simply random, given their statistical low incidence relative to Myeloma incidence in general.^3,7 Myeloma also affects more men than women, more blacks than whites and at a relatively earlier age than whites, farmers more than the general population.⁸ A French study noted a 40% excess prevalence, age- and sex-adjusted, amongst farmers, relative to other occupations.⁹ Other atrisk groups include foresters,⁸ fishermen.⁸ veterinarians,¹⁰ teachers,¹¹ anaesthesiologists,¹² radiologists, and anyone exposed to ionizing radiation.
