Trends of Lymphoma (2008-2016) in Dubai hospital, United Arab Emirates. Hospital
Based Registry
Ahmed Yahya Ayoub
Al Dhafra Hospitals, UAE
Background:
Therewere an estimated 18million cancer cases
around the world in 2018, of these 509,590 Non-Hodgkin
lymphoma cases, contributing 3% of the total number of new
cases diagnosed in 2018, and ranking 12th among the most
common cancers worldwide and 79,990 Hodgkin lymphoma
cases contributing 0.5% of the total number of new cases
diagnosed in 2018, and ranking 26th worldwide.
Objectives:
Tostudythetrendsoflymphomaincidenceamong
patients registered in Dubai hospital for the period 2008-2016
and to study some socio demographic characteristics of the
admitted cases.
Methodology:
The ethical approval was obtained from
the research committee in Rashid hospital in order to
access the data in cancer registry. The data were obtained
retrospectively through haematology department registry
unit in Dubai Hospital for the period 2008-2016, records
has been revised. All cases were confirmed and treated in
Dubai hospital, all admitted cases were included in the data
analysis, they were both male and females, all age groups
and all nationalities and diagnosed and confirmed cases by
Histopathological studies were considered only. The data
were coded no names, medical record number and contact
details were shown in the current study.
Results:
The present study showed that the overall incidence
rates of lymphoma cases registered inDubai hospital per 1000
of the registered patients was constantly higher among males
than females except in 2009 and 2010, it was lower among
males than females, since it was 0.06/1000 among males in
2008, then decline to 0.02/1000 in 2009 and 0.04/1000 in
2010 and continued to increase to 0.08/1000 in 2011 and
then fluctuating to be finally 0.09/1000 in 2016. While the
total female incidence rate of lymphoma registered at Dubai
hospital showed between 0.05/1000 in 2008, rising up to
0.08/1000 in 2014 and finally 0.04/1000 in 2016.
Conclusion:
The study concluded that lymphoma is more
among males compared to females and among expatriates
compared to UAE nationals. The time trends showed stable
curve across years during the period 2008 to 2016, to be the
fifth most common cancer in 2016. Strengthening cancer
registry system should be given a priority. Elimination of risk
factors as much as possible is recommended to help reduce
the incidence of lymphoma but there is no guaranteed way to
completely prevent lymphoma
