It is the most common hematologic malignancy, accounting for approximately 4% of all cancers. With over 60 subtypes, presentation, prognosis, and treatment vary dramatically. Overall 5-year survival is approximately 70%, ranging from >90% for indolent subtypes to <50% for aggressive subtypes.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) affects Global incidence is approximately 5-6 per 100,000 annually. About 550,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide each year. Incidence has increased 3-4-fold since 1970, partly due to improved diagnosis and HIV-related cases.. In the UAE, UAE reports approximately 100-150 new NHL cases annually.
