Lymphoma Subtype Recodes
Understanding of lymphoid neoplasms has evolved over the past 50 years, resulting in numerous classification schemes for these cancers, and particularly for non-Hodgkin lymphomas. In 2007, the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) Pathology Working Group published a proposed nested classification of lymphoid neoplasms1 based on the World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms and the International Classification of Diseases-Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). This classification scheme was designed to facilitate epidemiologic studies of lymphoma subtypes.
The SEER Cancer Statistics Review includes analyses of incidence rates, incidence trends and survival based on the SEER lymphoid malignancy recode variable in Sections 9 and 19 (Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, respectively). The SEER lymphoid malignancy recode variable was also added to the SEER databases as a convenience for researchers.
