TL;DR: Commentary on the study plays down the importance of descriptive epidemiology in identification of new risk factors, including its descriptive nature, and the use of estimated country-specific rates in the absence of registry data.

TL;DR: Examination of global patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020 and predicts the future incidence and mortality burden in 2040 using IARC's GLOBOCAN estimates of the number of new cases and deaths in 185 countries shows incidence rates were consistently higher in males and mortality exhibited an inverse pattern compared to incidence.

TL;DR: A multiplicative frailty model is developed that allows for the demonstrated points of inflection at ages 15–24 and 65–74 and gives a significant improvement in fit over a unimodal frailties and applies to population-based cancer registry data worldwide.

TL;DR: The sex differences were consistent across time periods but varied significantly by age across the life span, and across the four cancer types, the male‐to‐female incidence rate ratios increased from young ages, approaching a peak at ages 60‐64, but sharply declined thereafter.
