Characterizing autoimmune disease-associated diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a SEER-Medicare cohort

We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked database to characterize patterns of presentation, treatment, and survival in older DLBCL patients with concomitant autoimmune disease. DLBCL patients with autoimmune disease were more likely to be female, but otherwise did not differ significantly from other DLBCL patients in demographics, treatments and clinical outcomes.
