Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a rare disease. NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL) and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL) have a higher incidence in Asia, Central, and South America.
- Nk cell lymphoma is usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
- NK T cell lymphoma, nasal type consist 3-10% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Asia and South America and less than 1% in Western countries.[1]
Mortality rate
- NK cell lymphoma shows a poor prognosis because of rapid local progression and distant metastasis.
