What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma in cases per 100,000 population. |
| Why this is important: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a group of cancers of lymphocytes (white blood cells). Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur at any age and are often marked by enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and weight loss. In the United States in 2009, it is estimated that there were 65,980 new cases and 19,500 deaths from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The incidence rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is much greater than Hodgkin lymphoma; together, they form 5% of all cancers in the United Sates. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the Wyoming state value. |
