Abstract
In most developed countries, malignant lymphomas account for 10--15% of all cancers occurring among children aged 0--14 years. The present study estimates survival after a diagnosis of lymphoma in childhood, based on the EUROCARE II database which includes 34 population-based cancer registries from 17 European countries. The survival pattern of children with malignant lymphoma diagnosed in 1985--1989 is reported, as well as the time trends since 1978. The analyses focus on Hodgkin's disease (HD, 1696 cases) and on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, 2255 cases including Burkitt's lymphoma and unspecified lymphomas). For HD, the European weighted average 5-year survival rate was 93% (95% confidence interval (CI) 82--98) in 1985--1989. The survival rates were not affected by either age or gender. 5-year survival rates ranged from 68% (95% CI 34--90) in Estonia to 96% (95% CI 92--98) in Germany and 100% (95% CI 57--100) in Slovenia. Multivariate analyses for the time period 1978--1989 gave little suggestion of an improvement in survival over the later time periods of diagnosis. For NHL, the European weighted average 5-year survival rate was 74% (95% CI 67--80) in 1985--1989. Gender did not influence the survival rate. Children in the age...Continue Reading
