Prevalence An estimated , people are living with or in remission from leukemia in the US. Survival The 5-year relative survival rate for leukemia has more than quadrupled, from 14 percent in whites from to the only data available to From to , the five-year relative survival rates overall were ALL — Deaths Approximately 23, deaths 13, males and 9, females in the US are expected to be attributed to leukemia in From to , leukemia was the sixth most common cause of cancer deaths in males and the seventh most common cause of cancer deaths in females in the US.
Prevalence There are an estimated , people living with, or in remission from, lymphoma in the US. There are , people living with or in remission from Hodgkin lymphoma There are , people living with or in remission from non-Hodgkin lymphoma Survival The 5-year relative survival rate for people with HL has more than doubled, from 40 percent in whites from to the only data available to The 5-year relative survival rate is HL is now considered to be one of the most curable forms of cancer.
The 5-year relative survival rate for people with NHL has risen from 31 percent in whites from to the only data available to Myeloma New Cases An estimated 34, new cases of myeloma 19, males and 15, females are expected to be diagnosed in the US in For instance, doctors now believe that breast tissue in girls and teenagers may be especially sensitive to radiation.
Lisa Roth. A report published in the June issue of JAMA found that HL patients have a four- to sixfold increased incidence of congestive heart disease or heart failure compared with the general population. They are also more likely to develop valve abnormalities and have heart attacks in their thirties, forties, and fifties.
A class of chemotherapy drugs known as anthracyclines, which include drugs such as Adriamycin doxorubicin and Ellence eprubicin is also now known to be cardio toxic. Along with his MD Anderson colleagues, Roth is investigating whether first giving patients a cardio-protective drug known as dexrazoxane Zinecard, Totect before chemotherapy can head off heart problems later. Findings like these have spawned an emerging field known as cardio-oncology , which aims to reduce the unhealthy heart effects produced by so many cancer treatments.
Now we are trying to take action on the back end, by doing regular screenings — including echocardiograms and EKGS — on these patients who were treated back in the '70s and '80s. For young patients getting a diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma now, oncologists are offering more targeted, individualized treatments.
Many patients no longer get radiation at all. Often, they begin with chemo. Doctors also give NHL a grade, depending on how quickly it is likely to grow. The stage shows whether the non-Hodgkin lymphoma NHL is in one area of your body localised or has spread to other areas. There are 4 stages for NHL. Your treatment depends on the type, grade and stage of your non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Treatment might include chemotherapy, targeted drugs, steroids, radiotherapy and transplants.

Where this information comes from. Cancer survival by stage at diagnosis for England, Office for National Statistics These statistics are for net survival. Follicular lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma is the most common type of low grade lymphoma. Marginal zone lymphoma. Marginal zone lymphomas are slow growing B cell lymphomas. There are different types of marginal zone lymphomas. These are: extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, also known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue MALT lymphoma nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas have a slightly better outcome than the other types.
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma is the most common type of high grade lymphoma. Burkitt lymphoma.
