Cancer incidence in France over the 1980-2012 period: Hematological malignancies.

CONCLUSION: The striking differences in the incidence patterns by histologic subtype strongly suggest a certain level of etiologic heterogeneity among hematological malignancies and support the pursuit of epidemiologic analysis by subtype for HMs in international studies. Age-standardized incidence rates are essential to analyze trends in risk, whereas the number of incident cases is necessary to make provisions for healthcare resources and to evaluate the overall burden of HM.
