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

  • Prevalence 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).

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with anaplastic large cell lymphoma than females.[1]
