In this article, we provide an update on incidence rates of ophthalmic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), in the context of other NHL, in the USA. We also provide population-based estimates of incidence and survival for ocular adnexal NHL, the most common form of ophthalmic NHL, for which descriptive patterns have not been previously reported. Ophthalmic and ocular adnexal NHL have unique incidence patterns, including equal rates among both genders, predominance among Asians/Pacific Islanders, and steady and rapid increases in the past few decades. Studies of international variations in the incidence of ocular adnexal NHL may provide clues as to the underlying mechanisms influencing its unique epidemiology.
在本文中,我们提供了美国眼科非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)在其他NHL背景下的发病率最新情况。我们还提供了眼附属器NHL(最常见的眼科NHL形式,此前尚未报道其描述性模式)基于人群的发病率和生存率估计。眼科和眼附属器NHL具有独特的发病模式,包括男女发病率相等、在亚洲人/太平洋岛民中占主导地位,以及在过去几十年中稳步快速上升。对眼附属器NHL发病率国际差异的研究可能为影响其独特流行病学的潜在机制提供线索。
