Abstract
Background: Incidence rates of the histologic subtypes of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) differed with socioeconomic conditions. Materials and Methods: HL cases from the Register of Childhood Cancer (below 15 y of age) for 2 socioeconomic regions were analyzed. Central region has a high socioeconomic index; and the southern region a low index. The incidence rates (cases per million children/year) were estimated according to histologic subtypes, age groups, sex, clinical stages, time to diagnosis, and overall survival by regions. © 2016 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
