Lymphoma Dr. Gibson To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) how many people were diagnosed with lymphoma in each of the last 21 years; (2) how many people died from lymphoma in each of the last 21 years. John Healey The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply. Letter from Jil Matheson, dated 19 June 2007: The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent questions asking how many people were diagnosed with, and how many people died from, lymphoma in each of the last 21 years. I am replying in her absence. (142935, 142936) The most recent year for which figures are available is 2004 for incidence and 2005 for mortality. The table below shows the number of newly diagnosed cases and deaths from Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in England from 1984 to the most recent year. These cancers have been presented separately as they have very different epidemiological characteristics and treatments.

ICD-10 codes C82-C85 from 2001 onwards for deaths. The introduction of ICD-10 for coding cause of death in 2001 means that figures are not completely comparable with data for years prior to this date. Comparisons between the data before and after 2001 should therefore be interpreted with caution.

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 19 June 2007: As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the five year survival rates were for lymphoma in each of the last 21 years. (142937) The latest available five-year survival rates for selected major cancers in England are for adult patients (aged 15-99 years) diagnosed during 1998-2001 and followed up to the end of 2003. Survival was calculated for Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma separately. Survival rates for patients diagnosed between 1986 and 2001 are given in the table below.

(ICD10). Therefore, Hodgkin's disease is defined by code C81 and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by codes C82-C85. Cancers registered before 1995 are defined by codes in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD9). Therefore, Hodgkin's disease is defined by code 201 and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by codes 200 and 202.| |||| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
