Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Incidence Rate

Select a Health District

Measurement Period: 2020

This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma in cases per 100,000 population.

Why is this important?

Lymphomas, a group of cancers of lymphocytes (white blood cells), form 5% of all cancers in the United States, and are divided into two categories: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma has a well-defined pathology and four subtypes, whereas non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes all lymphomas except for Hodgkin lymphomas and is thus extremely variable in its pathology. Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and weight loss. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in the United States, and is more common among men and Caucasians. Although non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur at any age, most cases occur in adults aged 65 years and older. People with exposure to radiation, exposure to certain chemicals, or weakened immune systems are at higher risk for developing non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
