Overview

The known risk factors in the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are weakened immune system, autoimmune disorders, certain infections, and previous cancer treatment. Other possible risk factors include positive family history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, exposure to pesticides, exposure to trichloroethylene, diet, obesity, hair dyes, and occupational exposures.

Risk Factors

The known risk factors in the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are:[1][2][3][4]

Risk factors for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Known risk factors Factors that Decrease risk
Age (above 60 years) Alcohol consumption
Ethnicity (Caucasians more than African and Asian Americans) Atopic disease
Positive family history of first degree relative with non-Hodgkin lymphoma Hormone therapy use after ≥ 50 years of age
Weakened immune system ( genetic diseases like ataxia telangectasia or infection like HIV) High sun exposure
B-cell activating autoimmune disorders
Radiation exposure
Infections ( HIV, Hep C, HTLV-1, EBV, HHV-8, Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydophila psittaci, Campylobacter jejuni),
Previous cancer treatment
Exposure to chemicals and drugs (pesticides,methotrexate,tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, trichloroethylene)
Cigarette smoking for ≥ 40 years
BMI ≥30 kg/m2
Occupational exposures (hairdresser, farmer)
diet
Hair dyes
Breast implants

A. Known risk factors

  • The likelihood of getting non-Hodgkin lymphoma increases with age and is more common in men than in women.

1. Weakened immune system

  • a. Congenital immune system damage
  • Inherited disorders
  • b. Acquired immune system damage
  • Acquired disorders
  • Immunosuppressant drugs for

2. Autoimmune disorders

  • Linked with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • Hashimotos thyroiditis
  • Linked with a higher risk of developing primary thyroid lymphoma

3. Certain infections

  • Human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus, type 1 (HTLV-1)
  • Higher risk of developing some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Linked with a mucosa-associated lymphoid-tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma)

4. Previous cancer treatment

  • People who have received chemotherapy, with or without radiation therapy
  • People who have been treated for cancer have a higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma for the rest of their lives
  • The risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma is greatest in the first 5 years after treatment

B. Possible risk factors

  • 1. Family history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not generally considered to be familial, which means occurring in families more often than would be expected by chance
  • Higher risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in people with a first-degree relative (a parent, brother, sister or child) who has been diagnosed with lymphoma
  • Exposure to certain pesticides, such as Agent Orange, may be linked with a higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a solvent used mostly to remove grease from metal
  • Exposure to TCE may increase the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • 4. Diet
  • Diets high in meat, dairy products and saturated fat may increase the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Diets low in vegetables increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • 5. Obesity
  • 6. Hair dyes
  • Higher risk in people who used hair dye before 1980
  • Risk affects people who used permanent dyes with dark colors in particular
  • Risk may also be higher in hair dressers and barbers, who were exposed to the dye at work
  • 7. Occupational exposures
  • Farming
  • Rubber industry
  • Wood and forestry
  • Printing
  • Welding
