I. Epidemiology of adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: A Clinical autopsy case report with review of literature

“…It is not a single cancer, but rather a wide group of cancers, each with a district geographical distribution, development path, age profile and prognosis. In terms of incidence, the disease accounts for 5.1% of all cancer cases and 2.7% of all cancer deaths [6] . In India, as per the estimates, there are approximately 23,718 new NHL cases reported each year [7] .…”

“…In humans, 5.1 % of all cancer cases was diagnosed as NHL and 2.7 % of all cancers had been a cause of death. (Boffetta, 2011).…”

Hepatitis viruses and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: A review

“…NHL is among the haematological malignancies with high prevalence worldwide. NHL ranks 8th and 11th among the most common cancers in men and women respectively, contributing 5.1% of all cancer cases and REVIEW 2.7% of all cancer deaths [8] . An estimated 355 900 new cases and 191 400 deaths have been attributed to NHL in 2008 [3,9] .…”

“…An estimated 355 900 new cases and 191 400 deaths have been attributed to NHL in 2008 [3,9] . NHL is more frequent in developed areas, with the highest incidence rates found in Australia/New Zealand, Western, Northern and Southern Europe, and North America, while lowest rates are found in SouthCentral and Eastern Asia, Eastern Europe and the Caribbean [3,8] . The incidence of NHL is usually low in Africa, but in some sub-Saharan areas (particularly in East Africa) incidence of Burkitt's lymphoma (a subtype of NHL) caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) among children is remarkably high [9] .…”

“…Worldwide, the occurrence of NHL has been found to be higher in men with age-standardized rate per 100 000 (ASR, standardized to the World Standard Population) of 6.1 as compared to 4.2 for women [3,8] . The ASR of NHL incidence has been found to be 10.3 and 4.2 in males from more developed and less developed areas respectively.…”
