Incidence, Prevalence, Survival and Mortality of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma and Waldenstrom Macroglobulinaemia in Australia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mature B-cell neoplasms chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) are highly prevalent in older populations.

Aims

This study quantified the incidence, prevalence and relative survival/mortality rate in Australia for CLL/SS and WM and reported the past trends.

Materials & methods

All CLL/SLL and WM cases registered from January 2009 to December 2018 in Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory and Queensland were identified. Incidence rates over the observed period (2009-2018) were calculated and then projected to 2038 using linear regression. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves were used to estimate survival rates from 2009 to 2018.

Results

Between 2009 and 2018, the annual age-standardised
