Key Statistics for Lymphoma of the Skin
ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï
Lymphomas of the skin are uncommon:
- Skin lymphomas account for only about 4% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
The ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï¡¯s most recent estimates for all types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the United States for 2026?are:
- 79, 320 new cases of NHL (43,770 in men and 35,550 in women)
- 19,970 deaths from NHL (11,710 in men and 8,60 in women)
The rate of skin lymphomas has been rising over the past few decades, although it seems to have leveled off in recent years. The reasons for this are not known.
Survival rates for skin lymphomas can vary a great deal, depending on the type of lymphoma, how advanced it is, and how well it responds to treatment.
