Overall survival and causes of death in elderly patients with Hodgkin lymphoma: a Norwegian population-based case-control study.

Elderly Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are poorly characterized and under-represented in studies. In this national population- based study, we investigated cause-specific survival using competing-risk analysis in elderly HL patients compared to the normal population. Patients ≥60 years of age diagnosed between 2000-2015 were identified by the Cancer Registry of Norway, and records were reviewed in detail and compared to data from the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry for patients and cancer-free controls.
