The Emerging Burden of Lymphoma in Sub-Saharan Africa: Geographic Disparities and HIV-Associated Patterns From GLOBOCAN 2022
Poster Presenter
Authors
Part of Topic
Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL)
Introduction:
Rising lymphoma burden in sub-Saharan Africa(SSA)
Major drivers: Delayed diagnosis, inadequatepathology infrastructure, limited treatmentaccess, and infection-associated oncogenesis
Contemporary pan-African lymphomaepidemiology still poorly understood
Aim:
Evaluate the burden, regional disparities, andassociation between HIV prevalence andlymphoma incidence in SSA, using GLOBOCAN2022 estimates
Method:
-
Ecological, population-based analysis
-
Incidence, mortality, ASIRs, and ASMRs for SSA countriesextracted.
-
Eastern, Western, Middle, and Southern Africa regionscompared.
-
Survival disparities and health-system constraints assessedusing MIRs
-
National adult HIV prevalence (UNAIDS, World bank)correlated with lymphoma incidence using Spearmancorrelation
