[Multi-profile analysis of survival rate and cause of death in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]. / Mnogoprofil'nyi analiz vyzhivaemosti i prichin smerti bol'nykh nekhodzhkinskimi limfomami.

A relationship has been established between the survival rate of 378 patients who had died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and their sex, age, ABO- and Rh-factors of the blood, primary focus of the tumor lesion, morphological variant, diagnostic period duration, and the treatment intensity. A higher incidence rate and a higher mean survival were recorded in 222 males, as compared to 156 females. Favourable and unfavourable for survival age interval has been distinguished for NHL disease. Patients with Rh+ showed a higher survival rate, although the incidence rate among Rh+ and Rh- subjects was similar. Prognostically favourable and unfavourable sites of the primary tumor and morphological variants of NHL were specified. The time spent for detailed verification of the diagnosis has been justified, and the presence of a direct proportional relationship between the intensity of the treatment and the mean survival of patients with varying forms of NHL has been proved.
