Huang J, Chan SC, Lok V, Zhang L, Lucero-Prisno DE, Xu W, Zheng ZJ, Elcarte E, Withers M, Wong MCS. Global burden, risk factors, and trends of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A worldwide analysis of cancer registries. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7056. [PMID: 38477498 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounts for 90% of all malignant lymphomas. This study aimed to evaluate the global incidence, mortality, associated risk factors, and temporal trends of NHL by sex, age, and country. METHODS Data from 185 countries globally were used for analysis. NHL incidence and mortality were collected via the GLOBOCAN (2020), CI5 series I-X, WHO mortality database, the Nordic Cancer Registries, and the SEER Program. The WHO Global Health Observatory provided country-level, age-standardized prevalence of lifestyle and metabolic risk factors. Trends were examined and reported based on average annual percentage change (AAPC) calculated using Joinpoint regression analysis. Incidence and AAPC are based on data for the last 10 years across countries. RESULTS Globally, age-standardized incidence and mortality rates for NHL were recorded at 5.8 and 2.6 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. At country-level, NHL incidence was significantly associated with various factors, including HDI (Human Development Index), GDP per capita, prevalence of tobacco and alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia. Rising trend in NHL incidence was observed, with the highest increase recorded in Estonia (AAPCmale = 4.15, AAPCfemale = 5.14), Belarus (AAPCfemale = 5.13), and Lithuania (AAPCfemale = 4.68). While overall NHL mortality has been decreasing, certain populations experienced increased mortality over the decade. In Thailand, AAPC for mortality was 31.28% for males and 30.26% for females. Estonia saw an AAPC of 6.46% for males, while Slovakia experienced an AAPC of 4.24% for females. Colombia's AAPC was 1.29% for males and 1.51% for females. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates a rising trend of NHL incidence over the past decade- particularly in developed countries, older males, and younger populations. Further research should investigate deeper insights into specific etiology and prognosis of NHL across subtypes, and potential contributors towards these epidemiologic trends.

Azage M, Zewudie S, Goedert MH, Hagos EG. Epidemiological Characteristics of Cancer Patients Attending at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:5218. [PMID: 36982127 PMCID: PMC10049658 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20065218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer has become a public health problem and a challenge in developing countries, including Ethiopia. There is scanty local data on cancer epidemiology in Amhara region, Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to describe epidemiological characteristics of cancer patients attending Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital. METHODS This study was based on a patient cancer registry that took place in Bahir Dar Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia. It is the main referral hospital in the Amhara region, and serves more than 5 million people. The hospital has units including oncology for follow-up health care services. All confirmed cancer patients attending oncology units from July 2017 to June 2019 were included in the study. Global Moran's I statistic was employed to assess spatial heterogeneity of cancer cases across districts. Getis-Ord Gi* statistics was performed to identify hot spot districts with high numbers of cancer cases. RESULTS In a two-year period, a total of 1888 confirmed cancer patients were registered. There was a significant variation of cancer patients between females (60.8% 95%CI 58.5 to 63.0%) and males (39.3% 95%CI 37.0 to 41.5%). The first three most frequent cancer types seen were breast (19.4%) and cervical cancer (12.9%), and lymphoma (15.7%). Breast and cervical cancer and lymphoma were the first three cancers type among women, whereas lymphoma, sarcoma, and lung cancer were the three most common cancer among men. Spatially, cancer cases were non-random in the study area (global Moran's I = 0.25, z-score = 5.6, p-value < 0.001). Bahir Dar city administration (z = 3.93, p < 0.001), Mecha (z = 3.49, p < 0.001), Adet (z = 3.25, p < 0.01), Achefer (z = 3.29, p < 0.001), Dangila (z = 3.32, p < 0.001), Fogera (z = 2.19, p < 0.05), and Dera (z = 2.97, p < 0.01) were spatially clustered as hotspot with high numbers of cluster cases. CONCLUSIONS We found that there is a variation in the cancer types with sex. This study provides an insight for further exploration of environmental and occupational exposure related factors for cancer to guide future cancer prevention and control programs. The current study also calls for expansion of cancer registry sites, including in rural areas in the region.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a highly curable B cell lymphoproliferative neoplasm with a bimodal age distribution. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both sexes. We present a rare case of synchronous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung and mixed cellularity HL of the nasopharynx. A gentleman in his 70s presented with right-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. CT of the chest showed a peripheral lung mass, and a biopsy confirmed SCC of the lung. The patient underwent a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for staging that revealed an 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid mass in the nasopharynx. Flexible nasal endoscopy and biopsy of the nasopharyngeal mass revealed mixed cellularity classical HL. The patient was started on chemoimmunotherapy for lung cancer. Unfortunately, two months after initiation of treatment, the patient died from COVID-19 pneumonia and multiorgan failure.

Abstract
Sarcoma is a rare cancer, and little is known about the etiology, lifestyle epidemiology, and actual circumstances of treatment in hospitals in Japan. Understanding these issues is essential for the effective prevention and treatment of sarcoma. We therefore investigated the incidence of a personal and family cancer history in a total of 1320 sarcoma patients at the National Cancer Center Hospital. In addition, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, drinking, smoking, age and sex were compared in a descriptive study of 1159 of these sarcoma patients who were ≥ 20 years of age, and 7738 controls derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in Japan. A total of 8% of sarcoma patients had a personal history of another cancer, and 30% of soft tissue sarcoma patients had a family cancer history in a first-degree relative (malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, 52%; leiomyosarcoma, 46%). A smoking habit was associated with the development of sarcoma (odds ratio [OR], 2.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.78-2.37; p < 0.01). According to the histology, the ORs for undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of bone, UPS of soft tissue, and liposarcoma were 5.71, 3.04, and 2.92, respectively. A family cancer history may be associated with certain soft tissue sarcomas, and a smoking habit was significantly associated with the development of sarcomas; however, further studies are necessary.

Abstract
Smoking poses critical risks for heart disease and cancers. Heavy smokers, defined as smoking more than 30 pack-year, are the most important target for smoking cessation. This study aimed to obtain the cessation rate and its predictors among heavy smokers. We collected data from heavy smokers who visited a smoking-free hospital in Taiwan during 2017. All patients were prescribed either varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation, and their smoking status was followed for six months. Successful smoking cessation was defined by self-reported no smoking over the preceding seven days (7-day point abstinence). In total, 280 participants with a mean aged of 53.5 years were enrolled, and 42.9% of participants successfully stopped smoking in 6 months. The results revealed that quitters were older, with hypertension, fewer daily cigarettes, and being prescribed with varenicline. Multiple logistic regressions analyses identified that fewer daily cigarettes and being prescribed with varenicline were predictors of successful smoking cessation. Therefore, we suggest that varenicline use may help heavy smokers in smoking cessation.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant healthcare problem affecting ~1% of the United States population. Meta-analyses of epidemiological studies reported a strong association between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and HCV. Direct oncogenic properties of HCV proteins and chronic antigenic stimulation are possible etiologies. We explored if NHL's prevalence has changed since older HCV therapy based on interferon that shared antiviral and anti-lymphoma properties was replaced with interferon-free direct-acting antivirals (DAA). We reviewed data from a nationwide database (Explorys, IBM) that aggregates records from 26 health-care-systems. We identified patients with chronic hepatitis C infection between June 2013 and June 2020. The control group was gender, race, and age-matched HCV-negative population. Statistical analysis used the odds ratio (OR) with P value <.001 for significance. There were 940 cases of NHL of 129,970 patients in the HCV group versus 107,480 cases of NHL of 37,961,970 in the control cohort [OR 2.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.4-2.7]. A positive association was present for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma, and primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. There were no differences in Mantle cell lymphoma. The increased risk of HCV-associated lymphoma was persistent across genders, Caucasians and African-Americans, and age groups. While the risk of NHL in the HCV-negative population was higher in Caucasians than African-Americans (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.7-1.8), the risk of HCV-associated NHL was not different. Further prospective studies examining the risk of HCV-associated lymphoma following DAA are warranted.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the epidemiological data, prognostic factors, and treatment outcomes of bone angiosarcoma (BA). Methods This retrospective study was based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The medical records of BA patients were selected from the SEER database from 1975 to 2016. Variables including patients' baseline demographics (age, sex, marital status, and year of diagnosis), tumor characteristics (tumor size, grade, and SEER Historic Stage A), and treatment (surgery and radiotherapy) were selected for further analysis. The research endpoints were overall survival (OS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS). The optimal cutoff values of continuous variables including age, year of diagnosis, and tumor size were identified using the X‐tail program. Univariate Cox regression was used to identify potential prognostic factors and multivariate Cox regression was used to identify independent prognostic factors. All prognostic factors were included to predict the survival time compared to the median OS and CSS times via the novel nomograms. To validate the internal validation of nomograms, we analyzed the concordance indices (C‐index). Results This study enrolled a total of 271 patients with malignant vascular bone tumors among residents of the United States between 1975 and 2016. After applying the exclusion criteria (one case without active follow‐up), this study included 152 patients with BA. The median survival time of BA was significantly shorter than that of malignant vascular bone tumors for OS (9 months vs 27 months, P < 0.001). Age, year of diagnosis, tumor size, grade, stage, and surgery were identified as potential prognostic factors for OS or CSS in univariate Cox regression. However, only age (P < 0.001, P < 0.001), stage (P = 0.002, P < 0.001), and surgery (P = 0.001, P = 0.002) were independent prognostic factors for CSS and OS, respectively, in the multivariate analysis. Younger patients less than 54 years have significantly better prognosis for CSS/OS than patients between 54 and 67 years (Hazard ratios [HRs]: 1.651 [1.763–3.575], 2.557 [1.395–4.687]) and more than 67 years (HRs: 4.404 [2.237–8.670], 5.113 [2.923–8.942]). For CSS/OS, the survival time of patients with localized stage was significantly longer than that of patients with regional stage (HRs: 1.530 [0.725–3.228], 1.548 [0.834–2.873]) and that of patients with distant stage (HRs: 1.706 [0.899–3.237], 2.101 [1.254–3.520]). Patients with surgery had more survival time than patients without surgery for CSS/OS (HRs: 2.861 [1.542–5.310], 2.103 [1.308–3.379]). All factors were further included to generate nomograms for CSS and OS. The C‐indexes for the internal validation of OS and CSS prediction were 0.787 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.738–0.836) and 0.768 (95% CI: 0.717–0.819), respectively. Conclusions Age, stage, and surgery were closely associated with prognosis in patients with BA, and this clinical model was a favorable tool to evaluate survival possibilities.

Long-term exposure to PM 2.5 and its constituents and risk of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Denmark: A population-based case-control study. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 188:109762. [PMID: 32535359 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.109762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is a complex mixture and the various PM constituents likely affect health differently. The literature on the relationships among specific PM constituents and the risk of cancer is sparse. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of PM2.5 and its constituents with the incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and the two main NHL subtypes. METHODS We undertook a nationwide register-based case-control study including 20,847 cases registered in the Danish Cancer Registry with NHL between 1989 and 2014. Among the entire Danish population, we selected 41,749 age and sex-matched controls randomly from the Civil Registration System. We assessed modelled outdoor PM concentrations at addresses of cases and controls with a state-of-the-art multi scale air pollution modelling system and used conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for individual and neighborhood level socio-demographic variables. RESULTS The 10-year time-weighted average concentrations of PM2.5, primary carbonaceous particles (BC/OC), secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA), secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and sea salt were 17.4, 2.3, 7.8, 0.3, and 4.1 μg/m3, respectively among controls. The results showed higher risk for NHL in association with exposure to BC/OC (OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.07, per interquartile range (IQR)) and SOA (OR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.13, 2.09, per IQR). The results indicated a higher risk for follicular lymphoma in association with several PM components. Including PM2.5 (OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 0.98-1.38), BC/OC (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 0.97-1.14), SIA (OR = 1.44; 95% CI: 0.80-1.08), SOA (OR = 4.52; 95% CI: 0.86-23.83) per IQR. CONCLUSION This is the first study on PM constituents and the risk of NHL. The results indicated an association with primary carbonaceous and secondary organic PM. The results need replication in other settings before any firm conclusion can be reached.

Abstract
The incidence rates of bone lymphoma had sharply increased for the early decades. The incidence trend of bone lymphoma has stabilized in recent years. The mortality had sharply increased from 1985 to 2016 without a turn point. The incidence and mortality by various characteristics had similar patterns.
Background In recent years, studies on bone lymphoma and its histologic types have reached a mature stage. However, reports on the incidence and incidence-based mortality trends of bone lymphoma are scanty. Methods Patients with bone lymphoma in the U.S. were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975–2016), and categorized based on age, sex, race, tumor location, SEER Historic Stage A and histologic type. Data on the incidence (1975–2016) and incidence-based mortality (1985–2016) were directly obtained from the SEER program. Annual percentage change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the joinpoint regression analysis program. Results Overall, 13,058 bone lymphoma cases diagnosed in resident patients of the U.S. were included in incidence analysis between 1975 and 2016 as follows: 6080 cases in 1975–1999, 3796 cases in 2000–2009, and 3182 cases in 2010–2016. Of these cases, 6888 died of bone lymphoma between 1985 and 2016. The overall incidence rates dramatically increased from 0.89 per 100,000 person-years in 1975 to 1.36 per 100,000 person-years in 2016. Incidence trend sharply increased from 1975 to 2009, and then stabilized between 2009 and 2016. Overall incidence-based mortality trends sharply increased from 1985 to 2016 without a joinpoint. Following the demographic and tumor characteristics, the trends of incidence and incidence-based mortality exhibited similar patterns. Conclusion Considering various characteristics (age, sex, race, tumor location, SEER Historic Stage A, and histologic type), we established that the incidence trend of bone lymphoma has sharply been increasing over the decades, however, in the recent years, the trend has stabilized. Besides, between 1985 and 2016, the incidence-based mortality had been sharply increasing without a turning point. These findings could give insights for clinicians to elaborately assess the epidemiology and risk factors of bone lymphoma.

Long-term exposure to air pollution and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Denmark: A population-based case-control study. Int J Cancer 2020; 147:1874-1880. [PMID: 32175588 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.32978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
There is limited evidence regarding a possible association between exposure to ambient air pollutants and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Previous epidemiological studies have relied on crude estimations for air pollution exposure and/or small numbers of NHL cases. The objective of our study was to analyze this association based on air pollution modeled at the address level and NHL cases identified from the nationwide Danish Cancer Registry. We identified 20,874 incident NHL cases diagnosed between 1989 and 2014 and randomly selected 41,749 controls matched on age and gender among the entire Danish population. We used conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and adjusted for individual and neighborhood level sociodemographic variables. There was no association between exposure to PM2.5 , BC, O3 , SO2 or NO2 and overall risk of NHL but several air pollutants were associated with higher risk of follicular lymphoma, but statistically insignificant, for example, PM2.5 (OR = 1.15 per 5 μg/m3 ; 95% CI: 0.98-1.34) and lower risk for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (OR = 0.92 per 5 μg/m3 ; 95% CI: 0.82-1.03). In this population-based study, we did not observe any convincing evidence of a higher overall risk for NHL with higher exposure to ambient air pollutants.

Incidence and Mortality Trends and Risk Prediction Nomogram for Extranodal Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: An Analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database. Front Oncol 2019; 9:1198. [PMID: 31781500 PMCID: PMC6861389 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.01198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: DLBCL is the most commonly occurring type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which may be found at various extranodal sites. But little is known about the particular trends of extranodal DLBCL. Methods: A total of 15,882 extranodal DLBCL patients were included in incidence analysis from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973-2015). The joinpoint regression software was used to calculate the annual percent change (APC) in rates. Nomograms were established by R software to predict overall survival (OS). Results: The extranodal DLBCL incidence continued to rise at a rate of 1.6% (95% CI, 0.4-2.8, p < 0.001) per year over the study period, until it declined around 2003. The incidence-based mortality trend of extranodal DLBCL had a similar pattern, with a decrease happening around 1993. Five-year survival rates improved dramatically from the 1970s to 2010s (44.15 vs. 63.7%), and the most obvious increase occurred in DLBCL patients with primary site in the head/neck. The C-index showed a value for OS of 0.708, which validated the nomograms performed well and were able to forecast the prognosis of patients with extranodal DLBCL. The calibration curves showed satisfactory consistency between true values and predicted values for 1-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival, respectively. Conclusions: The incidence and incidence-based mortality of extranodal DLBCL had been increasing for decades, followed by a promising downward trend in recent years. These findings may help scientists identify disease-related risk factors and better manage the disease. The prediction signature cloud identifies high-risk patients who should receive effective therapies to prevent the fatal nature of this disease, and low-risk patients to reduce over-treatment.

Association between dietary inflammatory index and Hodgkin's lymphoma in an Italian case-control study. Nutrition 2018; 53:43-48. [PMID: 29655776 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2018.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2017] [Revised: 01/02/2018] [Accepted: 01/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The components of a diet can modulate inflammation and may have an effect on the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Little is known about the inflammatory potential of diet in relation to HL. METHODS Data from an Italian multicenter case-control study that was conducted between 1992 and 2008 were used to estimate the relation between a dietary inflammatory index (DII®) and the risk of HL. The data included 179 cases with incident, histologically confirmed HL and 186 control cases who were hospitalized for acute non-neoplastic diseases. The DII was computed on the basis of a validated, 78-item, food-frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios that were adjusted for age, sex, total energy intake, center, body mass index, years of education, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption. RESULTS No significant association was observed between an increasing DII and the risk of HL when used either as a continuous or categorical variable. The multivariate odds ratio for the highest versus the lowest DII tertile was 1.20 (95% confidence interval: 0.71-2.04). Similarly, no positive association was observed when analyses were carried out by different strata of selected covariates. CONCLUSIONS These results do not support the hypothesis that the inflammatory potential of a diet plays a major role in the development of HL.
