Item Survival Analysis of Hodgkin Lymphoma by Age-at-Diagnosis and Gender based on WHO/REAL Disease Classification, Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Data, 1975-2005(2009-05-01) Brown, Lindsey; Felini, MarthaSurvival of Hodgkin Lymphoma has been enhanced through advances in treatment practices and knowledge of the disease. The inception of the WHO/REAL disease classification system for Hodgkin Lymphoma allows researchers to gain a greater understanding into the differing relative survival probabilities associated with this unique cancer. This study performed a survival analysis to understand the effects of age-at-diagnosis and gender on WHO/REAL subtypes of Hodgkin Lymphoma among the SEER population, 1975-2005. Five-year relative survival differed by Hodgkin Lymphoma subtype by both age-at-diagnosis and gender, when race/ethnicity was controlled for.
