Incidence of myeloid malignancies by subtype in Hong Kong and comparisons with Asian and white men and women in the United States.

ABSTRACT: Data on incidence rates of myeloid malignancies for subtypes based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classification are lacking in Asian populations. We compared age-adjusted incidence rates for 27 myeloid malignancy WHO-defined subtypes in Hong Kong (HK) (2014-2016) with those for Asian and white individuals living in the United States (U.S.) (2010-2016). Except for overall acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (2.23 cases per 100,000) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) (2.10 cases per 100,000), rates of all subtypes were <1 case per 100,000 person-years in HK. Overall rates of AML, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and MDS/MPN were lower in HK compared to white and Asian individuals in the U.S., but the patterns by specific subtype varied. For these three broad groupings of myeloid malign
