Overview
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a common disease that tends to affect children or young adults. Males are more commonly affected with anaplastic large cell lymphoma than females.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence/prevalence of Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is approximately 2-8% of adult cases of non-Hodgkins lymphoma and as much as 30% of childhood non-Hodgkins lymphomas[2][3]
Prevalence
- Prevelance for this condition is not known
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop anapastic large cell lymphoma
- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a common disease that tends to affect children or young adults
- ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma usually affects younger individuals (between 10 and 29 years)[4]
- ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma usually affects older individuals (between 40-60 years)
