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][5][6]

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 telangiectasia 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
