Which type of lymphoma is more commonly diagnosed?

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more commonly diagnosed than Hodgkin's lymphoma. In clinical practice, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for a larger proportion of all lymphoma cases. This group of lymphomas is heterogeneous and can vary significantly in presentation, behavior, and prognosis, making it a broad category that encompasses many different subtypes. The incidence of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been rising over the years, leading to its distinction as the more prevalent type when compared to Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is less common and has a more specific demographic profile, generally affecting younger adults.

The differences in incidence rates and the diversity of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma contribute to its status as the more frequently diagnosed type of lymphoma. In contrast, Hodgkin's lymphoma, while clinically significant, is less prevalent, and awareness of it may not lead to the same volume of diagnoses compared to the varied assortment of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
