Background: Lymphoma is one of the leading cancers in Saudi Arabia. Because there is a paucity of data about the prevalence of lymphomas in Saudi Arabia, numerous extensive investigations are still required. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the common patterns of lymphomas in Northwestern Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at the Histopathology Departments of King Khalid and King Salman Hospitals in Hail city, Saudi Arabia, between 2008-2020. The present study comprised 134 lymphoma patients, and all data referring to these patients, such as gender, age, lymphoma type, grade, and cancer site, were retrieved. Results: The most common lymphoma type was NHL, followed by HL, constituting 32.8% and 20%, respectively. There was a clear difference between male and female patients of HL type where the male was higher than the female (24% versus 15.3%). The risk of HL associated with male gender, the relative risk (RR) CI (95% Confidence interval) = 2.0077 (0.9447 - 4.2667), p = 0.0700, z statistic = 1.812. Conclusions: Lymphoma is prevalent in the Hail region with an exceptionally ever-increasing incidence of HL. Wide-ranging lymphoma varieties have been explored in the Hail region, denoting large groups of unattributable etiologic modifiable risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
