Abstract
The Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) incidence increased significantly during last decades. Numerous NHL subtypes with different biology vary in their distribution with respect to various geographical regions.
We present the analysis of the Czech Lymphoma Study Group (CLSG) registry. Methods: 3518 newly diagnosed NHL cases have been registered during the years 1999-2006.
All cases were included into distribution analysis, only patients diagnosed until 2005 were included into survival analysis. The presented analysis describes for the first time the NHL lymphoma subtypes distribution as well as their outcome in Czech Republic.
The outcome improvement has been demonstrated by the introduction of new therapeutic approaches.
