NK/T-cell neoplasms: Analysis of incidence, patient characteristics and survival outcomes in the United States

This was a retrospective population-based study aimed to determine the epidemiology of NK/T-cell neoplasms in the United States. We noticed that the incidence of NK/T-cell lymphoma doubled over the past decade and is more common in Hispanic population. Unlike NK/T-cell lymphoma, no significant racial disparities exist in NK/T-cell leukemia. There may be an increased risk of second primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma.
