Epidemiological Characteristics of Hodgkin's Disease in Southern Marmara Region of Türkiye

Abstract

It is known that Hodgkin's Disease has some epidemiological differences among countries. In our study, in Hematology Division of Medical Faculty of Uludağ University Hodgkin's Disease cases that were followed up and treated between the years 1978-1994 were assessed retrospectively according to parameters concerning age, sex, histopathologic subgroup, stage, occupation and region. It was established that of 86 Hodgkin's Disease cases (57% male, 43% female, mean age 38, the lowest age 14, the highest age 76), 61.6% were mixed cellularity. It was also determined that first peak was during 20-34 years of, second peak during 55-59 years of age. In accordance with Ann-Arbor stage classification 86% applied in advance stage (41.8% in stage III-B, 44.2% in stage IV). It was found that the rate of traders was 18.6%, workers 10.5%, farmers 16.3%, students 5.8%, civil servants 5.8%, housewives 43%. 74.4 percent of cases were living in the cities, 25.6% in the rural region. Consequently, we came to the conclusion that Hodgkin's Disease cases in southern Marmara region had bimodal age distribution, mixed cellularity type is predominant and that the cases applied to hospital during advance stages (stage III-B and IV).
