Natural Killer/T-cell Neoplasms: Analysis of Incidence, Patient Characteristics, and Survival Outcomes in the United States

We performed a retrospective population-based study to determine the epidemiology of natural killer (NK)/T-cell neoplasms in the United States. We found that the incidence of NK/T-cell lymphoma doubled during the past decade and is more common in Hispanic population. Unlike NK/T-cell lymphoma, no significant racial disparities were found in NK/T-cell leukemia. The risk of second primary acute myeloid leukemia might be increased for patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma.
