Mycosis Fungoides in the United States: Increasing Incidence and Descriptive Epidemiology
Abstract
The etiology of mycosis fungoides is obscure, and the risk factors for its occurrence are poorly documented. This investigation uses data from nine US population-based cancer registries to investigate the descriptive epidemiology of this disorder. From 1973 through 1984, 721 newly diagnosed cases of mycosis fungoides were reported to these registries (0.29 cases per 100,000 population per year). A dramatic increase in the incidence of mycosis fungoides was noted over the period of this study. The incidence was highest among the elderly. Blacks were twice as likely to be afflicted as whites, and the incidence among men was more than twice the incidence among women. The geographic variation in incidence was associated with several demographic variables, including population density, family income, and concentration of physicians. Analysis of mortality among these patients revealed no evidence of detection bias.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
