Hodgkin lymphoma incidence statistics

Hodgkin lymphoma incidence rates (European age-standardised (AS) rates Open a glossary item) in England in females are similar in the most deprived quintile compared with the least, and in males are 19% higher in the most deprived quintile compared with the least (2013-2017).[1]

It is estimated that there are around 85 more cases of Hodgkin lymphoma each year in males in England than there would be if every deprivation quintile had the same age-specific crude incidence rates as the least deprived quintile.

Hodgkin Lymphoma (C81), Estimated Average Number of Excess Cases per Year and European Age-Standardised Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, by Deprivation Quintile, England, 2013-2017

No data are shown for females as the difference in age-standardised incidence rates between most and least deprived quintiles is not significant for females.
