Table 2.
Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) analysis by age and sex was used to compare disease incidence in the areas of CTCL geographic clustering. MDACC database results were used for this analysis. Data presented as folds higher than the Houston metropolitan incidence rate (6.4 cases per million per year).
