Long-term survival rates of patients with stage III–IV Hodgkin lymphoma according to age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status, 1984–2013
The Oncologist May 27, 2018
Li Y, et al. - Researchers determined the disparities in incidence and survival of advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (aHL) based on four patient variables in recent decades. They especially focused on the outcomes of treatment of aHL and the advancement of public health care. They used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database to select and analyze data on aHL cases diagnosed during 1984–2013. They found that in each decade, the long-term survival rate for patients with aHL increased whereas survival rate disparities according to sex, race, and socioeconomic status narrowed over time; this was not observed in older patients aged >60 years and the high-poverty group.
