Epidemiology and Demographics
- The incidence of acute promyelocytic leukemia is 0.2 to 0.26 per 100,000 annually in the United States, which corresponds to 600-800 cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia per year.[1]
- The incidence is higher in people of Latin American descent compared to Caucasian descent.
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia represents 10-15%% of all cases of acute myeloid leukemia in adults.[2] The median age is approximately 40 years, which is considerably younger than the other subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (70 years).
