Morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in Poland between 1999 and 2013
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a cancer that is epidemiologically difficult to describe arising from the definition of the blood cancers adopted in the 10th Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. In Poland CLL cases accounted for 1.3% and 1% in men and 1 women respectively in 2013 (1.2% and 0.9% of deaths). The incidence for men was 3.3/100,000 and 1.7/100,000 in women (mortality rates being 1.8/100,000 and 0.7/100,000 respectively). In Poland, the median patient’s age is 69 years. Indicators of 5-year relative survival for patients diagnosed in 2006–2009 were 55.8% for men and 68.1% for women.
