In the DRC, the absence of a national cancer registry is a serious handicap to the epidemiological evaluation of NHL. There is still a lack of knowledge about this pathology among the population and health professionals. An observational survey of the country's hospitals is enough to note the absence of protocols for the management of NHL. The objective of this study is to determine the epidemiological aspects of non\u2010Hodgkin lymphoma in the DRC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A descriptive cross\u2010sectional study, conducted at the University Clinics of Kinshasa, from 2012 to 2022.

The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 80\u2009years, with a mean age of 42\u2009years and a median of 45\u2009years.
