Abstract
Background: GLOBOCAN estimates the rank of Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas are 13th and Hodgkins Lymphoma are 28th most prevalent cancers in India during 2018. No recent update in the epidemiology of these lymphomas has been performed in our country. We diagnosed 974 new lymphomas during the period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2017 in our centre. Findings: The most frequent lymphoma was diffuse large B cell lymphoma, followed by follicular lymphoma and then classic Hodgkin’s disease. The male: female ratio is 1.2:1. Diagnosis by age showed that non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is by far more frequent in the 61-80 years old patients. On the other hand, classic Hodgkin’s lymphoma is more frequent in the 20-40 years old population. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 68.0% was the most common and Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) 32.0% with all sub-types of all Lymphoid Hematopoietic Malignancies (HLM cases). Our results are very similar to those published by other centers in Europe and United States.
