Chłoniak hodgkina (choroba hodgkina)
Epidemiologia
Chłoniak Hodgkina (CH) to rzadki nowotwór układu limfatycznego, charakteryzujący się obecnością komórek Reed-Sternberga, stanowiący mniej niż 1% wszystkich nowotworów, ale często diagnozowany u młodych dorosłych. W USA w 2025 roku przewiduje się 8720 nowych przypadków (4840 mężczyzn, 3880 kobiet) i 1150 zgonów (720 mężczyzn, 430 kobiet), z rocznym wskaźnikiem zachorowalności 2,5/100 000 i umieralności 0,3/100 000. Globalnie w 2020 roku zdiagnozowano około 83 000 przypadków i 23 000 zgonów, a wskaźniki zachorowalności i umieralności wynosiły odpowiednio 0,98 i 0,26 na 100 000 osób. Epidemiologia wykazuje bimodalny rozkład wiekowy (szczyty w 15-34 i >55 lat), przewagę mężczyzn (stosunek 1,2:1) oraz zróżnicowanie geograficzne – wyższe wskaźniki w krajach wysoko rozwiniętych i u osób z wyższym statusem społeczno-ekonomicznym. Czynniki ryzyka obejmują infekcję EBV (50% przypadków), zakażenie HIV, czynniki rodzinne, choroby autoimmunologiczne oraz ekspozycję środowiskową.

Epidemiologia chłoniaka Hodgkina (choroba Hodgkina)
Chłoniak Hodgkina (CH), wcześniej znany jako choroba Hodgkina, to stosunkowo rzadki nowotwór układu limfatycznego, charakteryzujący się obecnością wielojądrowych komórek Reed-Sternberga w węzłach chłonnych. Stanowi on mniej niż 1% wszystkich przypadków nowotworów na świecie, ale jednocześnie jest jednym z najczęściej diagnozowanych nowotworów u młodych dorosłych12. Epidemiologia chłoniaka Hodgkina wykazuje szereg charakterystycznych cech, które różnią go od innych typów nowotworów i podkreślają jego unikalny charakter.
Zachorowalność i umieralność globalna
Szacuje się, że w 2025 roku w Stanach Zjednoczonych zostanie zdiagnozowanych około 8720 nowych przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina (4840 u mężczyzn i 3880 u kobiet), co stanowi około 0,4% wszystkich nowych przypadków nowotworów. W tym samym roku przewiduje się około 1150 zgonów z powodu tej choroby (720 u mężczyzn i 430 u kobiet)12. Roczny współczynnik zachorowalności wynosi około 2,5 na 100 000 osób, natomiast współczynnik umieralności to 0,3 na 100 000 osób3.
W skali globalnej w 2020 roku częstość występowania chłoniaka Hodgkina wynosiła 0,98 na 100 000 osób, a współczynnik umieralności 0,26 na 100 0004. W 2020 roku na całym świecie zdiagnozowano około 83 000 nowych przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina i odnotowano około 23 000 zgonów z powodu tej choroby5. W 2015 roku na całym świecie żyło około 574 000 osób z rozpoznaniem chłoniaka Hodgkina6.
Trendy zachorowalności i umieralności
Interesujące jest to, że w ciągu ostatnich lat obserwuje się różne trendy w zakresie zachorowalności i umieralności na chłoniaka Hodgkina. Od połowy lat 2000. wskaźniki zachorowalności na chłoniaka Hodgkina spadają średnio o około 1-1,4% rocznie w USA78. Jednocześnie wskaźniki umieralności spadają średnio o 2,3% rocznie w latach 2014-20239.
Globalnie jednak obserwuje się odmienny trend – występuje zwiększająca się częstość występowania chłoniaka Hodgkina, zwłaszcza wśród kobiet, młodszej populacji i osób z krajów azjatyckich, podczas gdy umieralność z powodu tej choroby generalnie maleje1011. Prognozuje się, że liczba nowych przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina wzrośnie do około 107 000 (wzrost o 30%) do 2040 roku, głównie ze względu na zmiany demograficzne12.
W Wielkiej Brytanii wskaźniki zachorowalności wzrosły o około 38% między latami 1993-1995 a 2017-2019, przy czym u kobiet wzrost wyniósł 41%, a u mężczyzn 36%13. Wskaźniki umieralności w Wielkiej Brytanii spadły o około 74% od wczesnych lat 7014.
Rozkład wiekowy i płciowy
Jedną z najbardziej charakterystycznych cech epidemiologicznych chłoniaka Hodgkina jest jego bimodalny rozkład wiekowy, czyli występowanie dwóch szczytów zachorowalności1516. Pierwszy szczyt zachorowalności występuje u młodych dorosłych w wieku 15-34 lat (najczęściej w wieku 20-29 lat), a drugi szczyt pojawia się u osób w wieku powyżej 55 lat1718. Chłoniak Hodgkina jest rzadko spotykany u dzieci poniżej 5 roku życia, ale jest najczęściej diagnozowanym nowotworem u nastolatków w wieku 15-19 lat19.
Pod względem płci, chłoniak Hodgkina występuje nieco częściej u mężczyzn niż u kobiet (stosunek około 1,2:1 lub 13:10), z wyjątkiem podtypu stwardnienia guzkowego, który jest częstszy u kobiet202122. Dysproporcja płci jest najbardziej wyraźna u dzieci, gdzie 85% przypadków dotyczy chłopców23.
Średni wiek diagnozy wynosi 39 lat, ale różni się w zależności od regionu geograficznego i statusu społeczno-ekonomicznego24. W Wielkiej Brytanii prawie 3 na 20 (13%) nowych przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina jest diagnozowanych u osób w wieku 75 lat i starszych25.
Zróżnicowanie geograficzne i etniczne
Występowanie chłoniaka Hodgkina wykazuje znaczne zróżnicowanie geograficzne26. Najwyższe wskaźniki zachorowalności obserwuje się w Europie Południowej, Ameryce Północnej i krajach wysoko rozwiniętych, podczas gdy najniższe odnotowuje się w Azji Wschodniej i krajach rozwijających się2728.
W krajach rozwijających się choroba pojawia się głównie w dzieciństwie, a jej częstość zmniejsza się z wiekiem, podczas gdy w krajach uprzemysłowionych częstość występowania wzrasta z wiekiem29. W Europie Wschodniej wskaźnik zachorowań u młodych dorosłych jest podobny do tego obserwowanego w USA i Europie Zachodniej, ale wskaźnik zachorowań w dzieciństwie jest wyższy30.
Interesujący jest również związek między statusem społeczno-ekonomicznym a występowaniem chłoniaka Hodgkina. Osoby mieszkające w najbardziej zamożnych obszarach mają o 60% wyższy wskaźnik zachorowalności na chłoniaka Hodgkina niż osoby mieszkające w najbardziej ubogich regionach31. Może to sugerować, że bogate środowisko w dzieciństwie może predysponować do rozwoju nowotworów związanych z układem immunologicznym, potencjalnie poprzez mniejszą liczbę wyzwań immunologicznych zakłócających dojrzewanie układu odpornościowego we wczesnym życiu32.
Czynniki ryzyka
Zidentyfikowano kilka czynników ryzyka związanych z rozwojem chłoniaka Hodgkina:
- Infekcja wirusem Epsteina-Barr (EBV) – około 50% przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina jest związanych z infekcją EBV3334. Osoby, które wcześniej przeszły mononukleozę zakaźną, mają zwiększone ryzyko rozwoju chłoniaka Hodgkina35.
- Niedobory odporności – osoby z zakażeniem HIV mają około 10-krotnie wyższe ryzyko rozwoju chłoniaka Hodgkina niż populacja ogólna36.
- Czynniki rodzinne – posiadanie rodzica lub rodzeństwa z chłoniakiem Hodgkina zwiększa ryzyko rozwoju tej choroby. Rodzeństwo tej samej płci ma 10-krotnie wyższe ryzyko zachorowania37.
- Choroby autoimmunologiczne – zwiększają one nieco ryzyko rozwoju chłoniaka38.
- Czynniki środowiskowe – narażenie na zanieczyszczenia, palenie papierosów oraz status społeczno-ekonomiczny mogą wpływać na ryzyko zachorowania39.
- Wiek i płeć – jak wspomniano wcześniej, chłoniak Hodgkina jest częstszy u młodych dorosłych i osób starszych, z nieznaczną przewagą u mężczyzn40.
Podtypy histologiczne i ich epidemiologia
Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO) klasyfikuje chłoniaka Hodgkina jako klasyczny lub guzkowy z przewagą limfocytów (NLPHL). Klasyczny chłoniak Hodgkina, który stanowi około 95% wszystkich przypadków, jest dalej dzielony na cztery podtypy histologiczne4142:
- Stwardnienie guzkowe (NS) – najczęstszy podtyp, stanowiący około 70% przypadków klasycznego chłoniaka Hodgkina w krajach zachodnich. Jest częstszy wśród kobiet niż mężczyzn i najczęściej występuje u młodych dorosłych4344.
- Postać mieszanokomórkowa (MC) – stanowi około 20% przypadków klasycznego chłoniaka Hodgkina. Jest częstsza u osób starszych i w krajach rozwijających się45.
- Postać bogata w limfocyty (LR) – stanowi około 5% przypadków klasycznego chłoniaka Hodgkina46.
- Postać uboga w limfocyty (LD) – najrzadszy podtyp, stanowiący mniej niż 1% przypadków klasycznego chłoniaka Hodgkina w krajach zachodnich47.
Dystrybucja tych podtypów zmienia się z czasem. W badaniu przeprowadzonym w Chinach zaobserwowano zmniejszenie częstości występowania podtypu mieszanokomórkowego (z 38% do 26%) i zwiększenie częstości występowania podtypu stwardnienia guzkowego (z 21% do 50%) na przestrzeni lat48. Zmiany te mogą być związane ze zmianami środowiskowymi, statusem społeczno-ekonomicznym i rozwojem metod diagnostycznych49.
Sezonowość zachorowalności
Interesującym aspektem epidemiologii chłoniaka Hodgkina jest jego sezonowy wzorzec występowania i umieralności. Badania wykazały, że zachorowalność na chłoniaka Hodgkina na półkuli północnej osiąga szczyt około marca, a najniższy poziom około września, co daje sinusoidalny wzorzec sezonowy50. Szacowana zachorowalność w marcu jest o 15,4% wyższa niż we wrześniu51.
Ten sinusoidalny wzorzec jest bardziej wyraźny na wyższych szerokościach geograficznych. Ponadto, ryzyko zgonu w ciągu pierwszych trzech lat po diagnozie chłoniaka Hodgkina zimą jest znacznie wyższe w porównaniu z diagnozą latem na wyższych szerokościach geograficznych52. Istnieje hipoteza, że sezonowe różnice w poziomie witaminy D, pośredniczone przez promieniowanie ultrafioletowe, mogą być częściowo odpowiedzialne za obserwowane wzorce sezonowe53.
Przeżywalność i nadzór
Chłoniak Hodgkina jest jednym z najbardziej uleczalnych nowotworów, z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia wynoszącym około 85-90%5455. W Anglii 75% osób z diagnozą chłoniaka Hodgkina przeżywa 10 lat lub dłużej56. Jednakże przeżywalność różni się znacznie w zależności od wieku – ponad 90% osób w wieku 15-44 lat przeżywa 10 lat lub dłużej, w porównaniu z prawie 40% osób zdiagnozowanych w wieku 65-99 lat57.
Obserwuje się również różnice w przeżywalności w zależności od rasy, pochodzenia etnicznego i wieku. Gorsze wyniki leczenia chłoniaka Hodgkina są zgłaszane w populacjach czarnoskórych nie-latynoskich i latynoskich w porównaniu z populacjami białymi58.
Wartość rutynowego obrazowania nadzorczego po zakończeniu terapii u pacjentów z chłoniakiem Hodgkina pozostaje kontrowersyjna. Badania wykazały, że rutynowe obrazowanie PET/CT charakteryzuje się niską dodatnią wartością predykcyjną (28%) i wysoką ujemną wartością predykcyjną (100%)5960. Przy braku udowodnionych korzyści w zakresie przeżycia dla pacjentów z przedklinicznie zdiagnozowaną wznową, wysokie koszty i niska dodatnia wartość predykcyjna sprawiają, że PET/CT nie jest odpowiedni do rutynowego nadzoru pacjentów z chłoniakiem Hodgkina61.
Szacunkowy koszt rutynowego obrazowania diagnozującego wznowę wynosił 50 778 USD, ale mógłby zostać zmniejszony do 21 762 USD, gdyby rutynowy nadzór PET/CT był ograniczony do pacjentów z chorobą pozawęzłową w momencie prezentacji, pozytywnym wynikiem PET w trakcie leczenia i/lub resztkową aktywnością PET po zakończeniu leczenia62.
Wyzwania i trendy przyszłościowe
Pomimo doskonałych wskaźników przeżycia, nadal istnieją znaczące wyzwania w epidemiologii i leczeniu chłoniaka Hodgkina:
- Utrzymujące się różnice rasowe, etniczne i związane z wiekiem w wynikach leczenia, szczególnie w przypadku wznowy63.
- Wyższe wskaźniki zachorowalności w krajach o wysokim dochodzie, ale wyższa umieralność w krajach o niskim dochodzie64.
- Zwiększająca się częstość występowania chłoniaka Hodgkina, zwłaszcza wśród kobiet, młodszej populacji i osób z krajów azjatyckich65.
- Potrzeba lepszego zrozumienia przyczyn obserwowanych trendów epidemiologicznych66.
Prognozuje się, że liczba przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina wzrośnie o około 30% do 2040 roku z powodu zmian demograficznych67. W Wielkiej Brytanii przewiduje się wzrost wskaźników zachorowalności o 13% między latami 2023-2025 a 2038-2040, co może oznaczać około 2900 nowych przypadków chłoniaka Hodgkina rocznie do lat 2038-204068.
Podsumowanie epidemiologii
Chłoniak Hodgkina (choroba Hodgkina) pozostaje stosunkowo rzadkim, ale istotnym nowotworem układu limfatycznego, wykazującym charakterystyczne cechy epidemiologiczne, takie jak bimodalny rozkład wiekowy, przewaga u mężczyzn i zróżnicowanie geograficzne. Mimo że wskaźniki umieralności spadają dzięki postępom w diagnozowaniu i leczeniu, obserwuje się globalny wzrost zachorowalności w niektórych populacjach, zwłaszcza wśród kobiet, młodych osób i mieszkańców Azji6970.
Zrozumienie epidemiologii chłoniaka Hodgkina ma kluczowe znaczenie dla opracowania skutecznych strategii zapobiegania, wczesnego wykrywania i leczenia. Potrzebne są dalsze badania, aby wyjaśnić przyczyny obserwowanych trendów epidemiologicznych i lepiej zrozumieć etiologię i rokowanie w tej chorobie71. Możliwe, że współczesne badania nad epidemiologią chłoniaka Hodgkina doprowadzą do odkrycia nowych czynników ryzyka i opracowania bardziej spersonalizowanych podejść do leczenia, co może jeszcze bardziej poprawić wyniki dla pacjentów z tym nowotworem.

Our study examines global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in 2020 and predicts the future incidence and mortality burden in 2040 using IARC’s GLOBOCAN estimates of the number of new cases and deaths of HL in 185 countries. A total of 83 000 new cases of HL and 23 000 deaths from HL were estimated in 2020. […] Incidence rates varied markedly by world region, at least 10-fold in both sexes, with the highest incidence rates observed in Southern Europe. Mortality exhibited an inverse pattern compared to incidence, with rates elevated in Western Asia and Northern Africa. […] The number of HL incident cases is predicted to rise to around 107 000 cases (a 30% increase) by 2040 due to demographic changes, assuming global rates in 2020 remains unchanged. The findings provide a baseline and impetus for developing strategies that aim to reduce the burden of HL in future decades.

For the past decade, the overall Hodgkin lymphoma incidence rate has been increasing, especially among subjects who were female, younger population, and from Asian countries. The drivers for this trend remain unknown, but might be attributable to the increasing prevalence of lifestyle and metabolic risk factors as well as improvements in early diagnosis. The Hodgkin lymphoma mortality has been decreasing probably due to the early cancer diagnosis and advances in treatment. However, increasing Hodgkin lymphoma mortality rates were noted in Chile and Ireland. Further studies are needed to investigate the reasons for these epidemiologic trends and have a better understanding of the particular aetiology and prognosis of Hodgkin lymphoma.

- #26 Global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma incidence and mortality in 2020 and a prediction of the future burden in 2040 – PubMedhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35080783/
Our study examines global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in 2020 and predicts the future incidence and mortality burden in 2040 using IARC’s GLOBOCAN estimates of the number of new cases and deaths of HL in 185 countries. A total of 83 000 new cases of HL and 23 000 deaths from HL were estimated in 2020. […] Incidence rates varied markedly by world region, at least 10-fold in both sexes, with the highest incidence rates observed in Southern Europe. Mortality exhibited an inverse pattern compared to incidence, with rates elevated in Western Asia and Northern Africa. […] The number of HL incident cases is predicted to rise to around 107 000 cases (a 30% increase) by 2040 due to demographic changes, assuming global rates in 2020 remains unchanged. The findings provide a baseline and impetus for developing strategies that aim to reduce the burden of HL in future decades.

Epidemiology of Hodgkinâs Lymphoma (HL) varies with age at clinical onset. In developing countries, the disorder appears predominantly during childhood and its incidence decreases with age, while in industrialized countries, the incidence rate increases with age. There has long been a view that the differences in descriptive epidemiology of Hodgkinâs Lymphoma around the world, and also between children, young adults and older adults may reflect differences in etiology between them. Hodgkinâs Lymphoma has long been suspected to have an infectious precursor, and indirect evidence has implicated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as a causal agent. The etiology of EBV-negative cases remains obscure. Epidemiological investigation of the etiology of Hodgkinâs Lymphoma is making steady progress, and it leads to a better understanding and hence prevention. This review considers in detail the descriptive and the etiological epidemiology of Hodgkinâs Lymphoma.

A different age pattern is evident among economically disadvantaged populations in which there is an initial peak in childhood, particularly for boys. […] In the United States and in Western Europe, the childhood rate is lower than the young-adult rate. In Eastern Europe, the young-adult rate is similar to that observed in the United States and Western Europe, but the childhood rate is higher. Latin American countries have patterns of incidence approaching those of the United States. […] The incidence is relatively low in Asia, with the exception of South Asia, where the incidence is relatively high. […] In the United States, the incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma among Whites and Blacks is essentially the same. However, the ratio is 1.4:1 in children older than 10 years. A significant male-to-female ratio of 3:1 is observed in children younger than 10 years. Data from the National Cancer Institute show that 85% of cases occur in boys. In older children and adults, the male-to-female ratio is about 1:1.

Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) is the most common cancer in teenagers and young adults. This nationwide study conducted over a 25-year period in the UK investigates variation in HL incidence by age, sex, region and deprivation to identify trends and high-risk populations for HL development. […] A total of 2402 new cases of HL were identified over 78569436 person-years. There was significant variation in HL incidence by deprivation group. Individuals living in the most affluent areas had HL incidence 60% higher than those living in the most deprived (incidence rate ratios (IRR) 1.60, 95% CI 1.40 to 1.83), with strong evidence of a marked linear trend towards increasing HL incidence with decreasing deprivation (p=0.001). There was significant regional variation in HL incidence across the UK, which persisted after adjusting for age, sex and deprivation (IRR 0.801.42, p=0.001).
- #32 Socioeconomic deprivation and regional variation in Hodgkinâs lymphoma incidence in the UK: a population-based cohort study of 10 million individuals | BMJ Openhttps://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/9/e029228
This study identified high-risk regions for HL development in the UK and observed a trend towards higher incidence of HL in individuals living in less deprived areas. Consistent with findings from other immune-mediated diseases, this study supports the hypothesis that an affluent childhood environment may predispose to development of immune-related neoplasms, potentially through fewer immune challenges interfering with immune maturation in early life. Understanding the mechanisms behind this immune dysfunction could inform prevention, detection and treatment of HL and other immune diseases. […] In the UK, 2100 new cases of HL are diagnosed each year, but little is known about the distribution of these cases in the UK population or if there are any high-risk groups. […] Understanding how HL incidence varies between different geographical regions in the UK and identifying high-risk populations may provide clues to the underlying aetiology of the disease and inform future research directions.

Hodgkin lymphoma shows a well-known geographic pattern. Incidence also varies significantly by age, sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. These clinical pathological features of the disease are changing. […] 715 Hodgkin lymphoma patients clinicopathological and treatment data were assessed in a maximum of ten-year periods. The patients were treated at the University of Debrecen, Department of Hematology from 1980 until the end of 2014. […] The incidence of classical mixed cellularity (cMC) histological subtype is decreasing (38%, 49%, 48% and 26%; p 0.01) while classical nodular sclerosis (cNS) shows an increasing tendency (21%, 28%, 30% and 50%; p 0.01). […] The changing patterns can be explained by the altered nature of the disease, changes in immunological features, environmental factors, socioeconomic status and development of diagnostic and therapy methods.

- #50 Hodgkin Lymphoma has a seasonal pattern of incidence and mortality that depends on latitude | Scientific Reportshttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-14805-y
Seasonal variations in incidence and mortality after a Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) diagnosis have been previously described with partly conflicting results. The goal of this analysis is to provide a comprehensive analysis of these seasonal variations. In total, 41,405 HL cases diagnosed between 1973 and 2012 in the 18 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries were included. HL shows a sinusoid seasonal incidence pattern (p0.001). Estimated incidence in March is 15.4% [95%-CI: 10.8-20.0] higher than in September. This sinusoid pattern is more pronounced at higher latitudes (p=0.023). The risk of dying within the first three years after a HL diagnosis in winter is significantly increased compared to a HL diagnosis in summer at higher latitudes (HR=1.082 [95%-CI: 1.009-1.161], p=0.027). Furthermore, increasing northern latitude increases the additional mortality risk conferred by a diagnosis in winter (pinteraction0.033). The seasonality patterns presented here provide epidemiological evidence that Vitamin D might play a protective role in HL.

We hypothesize that seasonal differences in vitamin D levels mediated by ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are at least in part responsible for the seasonal patterns described here. The seasonal pattern of vitamin D levels in humans is also more pronounced at higher latitudes. Strikingly, the seasonal incidence pattern observed in HL cases almost exactly resembles the seasonal pattern of vitamin D levels in humans. […] In conclusion, we found a striking seasonal pattern of incidence and mortality in HL. Further studies are needed in order to better understand the reasons for the seasonal patterns described here.

Hodgkins lymphoma is a rare cancer of the lymphatic system that affects the B-lymphocytes and leaves a patient susceptible to infection. […] Estimates suggest that around 1 in 25,000 people are affected by this cancer every year and the condition accounts for just under 1% of all cancers that occur worldwide. […] Although Hodgkins lymphoma can affect people of any age, it generally develops among two age groups in particular, which are those aged between 15 and 35 years and those aged over 55 years. […] The nodular sclerosis subtype is more common among females than males but otherwise, Hodgkins lymphoma is more common among males. […] Hodgkins lymphoma is more common among people with HIV infection, compared with the general population. […] According to the American Cancer Society, estimates for the United States suggest that in 2014, around 9,190 new cases of Hodgkins lymphoma will be diagnosed, involving 4,120 females and 5,070 males. […] Despite being an aggressive form of cancer, Hodgkins lymphoma is one of the most curable cancers, with the 1-year survival rate in the range of 90% to 95%. The 5- and 10-year respective survival rates are estimated to be around 85% and 80%.

- #58 Factors Linked to Improved Survival in Hodgkin Lymphomahttps://consultqd.clevelandclinic.org/outcomes-in-hodgkin-lymphoma-are-improving-but-disparities-persist
Improvements in survival from Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are one of the greatest medical accomplishments of the past half-century with event-free and overall survival rates now exceeding 85% and 90%, respectively. […] Despite these achievements, racial, ethnic and age-related disparities in outcomes have persisted over time. […] Inferior HL outcomes are reported in non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations as compared to white populations and in AYAs as compared to children. […] Intermediaries associated with this outcome disparity include stage at presentation, receiving care at specialized cancer centers, receipt of multimodal therapy, and enrollment in a clinical treatment trial. […] Racial and ethnic disparities in relapse are mitigated by enrollment on clinical trial. However, survival disparities in post-relapse mortality persist in the trial setting.

The value of performing post-therapy routine surveillance imaging in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma is controversial. This study evaluates the utility of positron emission tomography/computed tomography using 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose for this purpose and in situations with suspected lymphoma relapse. […] The overall positive predictive value and negative predictive value of positron emission tomography/computed tomography were 28% and 100%, respectively. […] With no proven survival benefit for patients with a pre-clinically diagnosed relapse, the high costs and low positive predictive value make positron emission tomography/computed tomography unsuitable for routine surveillance of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

The estimated price per routine PET/CT-diagnosed relapse was US$ 50,778 (21 PET/CT per relapse), but the price was reduced to US$ 21,762 if routine PET/CT surveillance had been restricted to patients with extranodal disease at presentation, PET-positive interim/mid-treatment scan and/or residual PET activity after completing treatment (9 PET/CT per relapse). […] The total costs of PET/CT surveillance are probably even higher because of the numerous supplementary investigations performed due to false positive PET/CT results. […] This study adds to the existing evidence in showing that PET/CT surveillance, both routine and clinically indicated, is associated with low PPV and that routine PET/CT surveillance has unacceptably high costs.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphatic malignancy commonly found in cervical lymph nodes. This study evaluated the worldwide incidence, mortality, associated risk factors, and temporal trends of Hodgkin lymphoma by sex, age, and country. […] The Hodgkin lymphoma incidence and mortality were 0.98 and 0.26 per 100,000 in 2020. A higher incidence was observed in high-income countries, while higher mortality was found in low-income countries. Incidence and mortality were associated with GDP per capita, prevalence of smoking, obesity, and hypertension at the population level. Despite the decreasing mortality trend, there was an increasing incidence, especially among females, younger population, and subjects from Asian countries. […] There was an increasing trend in Hodgkin lymphoma incidence, especially among subjects who were female, younger population, and from Asian countries. Further studies are needed to investigate the reasons for these epidemiologic trends.

Our study examines global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in 2020 and predicts the future incidence and mortality burden in 2040 using IARC’s GLOBOCAN estimates of the number of new cases and deaths of HL in 185 countries. A total of 83 000 new cases of HL and 23 000 deaths from HL were estimated in 2020. […] Incidence rates varied markedly by world region, at least 10-fold in both sexes, with the highest incidence rates observed in Southern Europe. Mortality exhibited an inverse pattern compared to incidence, with rates elevated in Western Asia and Northern Africa. […] The number of HL incident cases is predicted to rise to around 107 000 cases (a 30% increase) by 2040 due to demographic changes, assuming global rates in 2020 remains unchanged. The findings provide a baseline and impetus for developing strategies that aim to reduce the burden of HL in future decades.
