“…Besides the above-mentioned articles, we found two case studies (in 2019 and 2021) on childhood NHL in Bangladesh. Hossain et al (2021) reported a case study on a 14-year-old boy with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), a type of NHL that arises in the central nervous system [ 34 ]. According to the study, this is the first instance of primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PCNSL) that affected the lateral, third, and periventricular regions.…”

“…PCNSL is treated with systemic or intrathecal chemotherapy and radiotherapy, not surgery. A restricted biopsy can diagnose problems, reducing side effects [34]. In the case study reported by Hafiz et al (2019), a two-year-old male child was brought to the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at BSMMU.…”

Globally, childhood cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), is a prevalent concern. However, the difficulty becomes even more distressing in lower-middle-income nations such as Bangladesh. The insufficiency of research, resources, inadequate guidelines, expensive treatment costs, and specialized knowledge exacerbate the challenges associated with the treatment of certain types of cancers. Our investigation looked extensively into the circumstances prevailing in Bangladesh, with the objective of providing a comprehensive overview of the current status and approaches to managing NHL in the country. Through this work, our intention was to illuminate the domains that require immediate focus and assistance. To get insight into the present state of NHL in Bangladesh, our analysis focused on a selection of seven research articles and two case reports published between 2018 and 2023. In order to ensure the integrity and consistency of our review, we conducted a detailed selection procedure, employing the systematic PRISMA review methodology. From a pool of 294 papers, we selected the ones that met our predetermined criteria. These papers were sourced from reputable academic databases, such as Google Scholar and PubMed. The findings of our study indicate a higher prevalence of NHL among children in Bangladesh compared to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Additionally, this phenomenon exhibits a higher prevalence among male individuals. Our study revealed that in Bangladesh, there is a lack of a dedicated guideline or research center specifically focused on NHL. Additionally, the number of research centers and research dedicated to cancer treatment as a whole is limited. Our research aims to offer a complete analysis of NHL in the context of Bangladesh, with the intention of offering valuable guidance to healthcare professionals and policymakers. The utilization of our research outcomes has the potential to enhance patient care, facilitate the development of more effective clinical protocols, and promote greater accessibility and affordability of therapies. This has the potential to provide improved cancer care not only in Bangladesh but also in other comparable contexts worldwide.
