| Summary: | <p>The aim of the study was to analyze the main epidemiologic characteristics of lymphomas in children 0–14 years of age in Moscow Region (MR). The database of childhood population-based cancer registry of MR served as a data source. 136 cases of lymphomas were identified during 2000–2008 years. Hodgkin disease constitutes of 55.8 % of cases. Age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of all types of lymphomas was 1.47 per 100,000 children. ASR of Hodgkin disease was 0.77 per 100,000 children; ASR of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas was 0.70 per 100,000 children. Distinct epidemiologic features of Hodgkin disease in different gender's and age groups were shown. 5-year observed survival (OS) of all patients with lymphomas was 0.83 ± 0.03. 5-year OS of patients with Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphomas was 0.86 ± 0.04 and 0.80 ± 0.05 respectively.</p>
