Overview

Hodgkin's lymphoma has a bimodal age distribution that differs geographically and ethnically in industrialized countries; the early peak occurs in the middle-to-late 20s and the second peak after age 50 years. In developing countries, the early peak occurs before adolescence.[1] In 2015, the incidence of Hodgkins lymphoma was estimated to be 3 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1] The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is higher among patients with HIV/AIDS; however, in contrast to many other lymphomas associated with HIV infection, Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs most commonly in patients who do not have severe immunosupression.[2]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • In the United States, the age-adjusted prevalence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is 35 per 100,000 in 2011.[3]

Incidence

  • In 2015, the incidence of Hodgkins lymphoma was estimated to be 3 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]

Age

  • Hodgkin's lymphoma has a bimodal age distribution that differs geographically and ethnically in industrialized countries; the early peak occurs in the middle-to-late 20s and the second peak after age 50 years. In developing countries, the early peak occurs before adolescence.[1]
  • The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is estimated to be 2.9 cases per 100,000 adolescents among ages 15 to 19 years in the United States.
  • The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is estimated to be 0.9 cases per 100,000 children among ages 10 to 14 years in the United States.
  • The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is estimated to be 0.3 cases per 100,000 children among ages 5 to 9 years in the United States.
  • The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is estimated to be 0.09 cases per 100,000 children among 4 years of age in the United States.
  • While the overall age-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 2.7 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma by age category is:[3]
    • Between 20 and 29 years: 4.1-4,5 per 100,000
    • Under 65 years: 2.5 per 100,000
    • 65 and over: 4.2 per 100,000

Gender

  • In children <5 year, males are more commonly affected with Hodgkin's lymphoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 5.3.[1]
  • In children aged 15 to 19 year, females are more commonly affected with Hodgkin's lymphoma than males. The male to female ratio is approximately 0.8.
  • In the United States, the age-adjusted prevalence of Hodgkin's lymphoma by gender in 2011 is:[3]
    • In males: 37.2 per 100,000
    • In females: 33.1 per 100,000
  • In the United States, the age-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma by gender on 2011 is:[3]
    • In males: 3.11 per 100,000 persons
    • In females: 2.34 per 100,000 persons
  • In the United States, the delay-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma by gender in 2011 is:[3]
    • In males: 3.22 per 100,000 persons
    • In females: 2.42 per 100,000 persons
