| Sumario: | This is an epidemiological study of lymphoid neoplasms in Tarragona, a southern region of Catalonia with a population over 800.000. It gives details of incidence, mortality, survival and prevalence in a population basis of 3,258 lymphoid malignancies recorded in the Tarragona Cancer Registry during the period 1980 to 2004 (354 Hodgkin's lymphoma, 1605 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), 676 multiple myeloma, 188 acute lymphocytic leukemia and 435 chronic lymphocytic leukemia). We have studied the incidence time trend and its projection to 2010 and 2015 for each disease group. The NHL were classified histologically according to WHO classification of hematologic malignancies, and their relative frequency were compared internationally. The main conclusions were that the lymphoid malignancies in Tarragona show a westernized epidemiological pattern, with a progressive improvement in their relative survival and that there is at least partially, a temporal relationship between the AIDS and the NHL epidemics. |
