Abstract:
:Classification of lymphoid malignancy has changed markedly in recent years and advances have been made in therapy. This study investigated the variations in treatment and survival of 1622 patients in a population-based registry. A total of 1009 cases of malignant lymphoma (ML) were classified according to the Kiel classification. Pathology review resulted in major diagnostic changes for 24% of cases. Of the ML cases, 39% had not had full staging procedures. Younger patients were more likely to have been treated with multiagent chemotherapy regimens, as were patients with B symptoms. Median survival for ML patients was 12 months for high-grade patients and more than 60 months for low-grade patients. Significant factors affecting the survival of ML patients were performance status, whether treatment had followed a recognised protocol, whether treatment had been carried out at a specialist oncology centre (SOC), grade of disease, stage, gender and age. The same factors had a significant effect on survival of the leukaemia patients, except for treatment at an SOC, which had a significant favourable effect on survival of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients only. Median survival for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia was 43 months and 7 months for ALL patients.
