Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of hematological neoplasms that can occur in individuals of both sexes and of all ages. They are subdivided into Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and originate from lymphocytes at different stages of development and can affect any organ. Its diagnosis is not always easy since it presents with varied symptoms, and for this reason, it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. National data on the epidemiology of lymphomas are limited. The objective of this study is to analyze clinical and epidemiological data of individuals with lymphoma in a cancer treatment reference center in Paraná. Observational, retrospective study of analysis of medical records of patients over 18 years of age, of both genders, diagnosed with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma followed by the Londrina Cancer Hospital in the year of 2018. The data collected were number of cases, age, sex, municipality of origin and Ann Arbor clinical staging. Our study found a low incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and a high frequency of advanced disease compared to other centers. Patients with advanced disease came from cities with a lower median Human Development Index (HDI) compared to those with early disease. The analysis of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma found data similar to that of other centers. The low incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the high number of cases with advanced disease allows the development of strategies for recognizing the disease and improve assistance to the population in Londrina region.
