Klinik Graz NON-HODGKIN S LYMPHOMA (NHL) Approximately 1.5 million people worldwide are living with non-hodgkin s lymphoma (NHL), and it is estimated that 300,000 people die each year from the disease 1 new case diagnosed every 9 minutes* 81% increase in incidence of NHL between NHL is the third fastest growing cancer (excluding the US) in terms of population in the world NHL is leading cause of death due to cancer in men aged years *US statistics 1
