What is the transmission route of lymphoma

Many people know that lymphoma is also a malignant tumor. It is also a relatively common tumor in my country. It is very harmful to the human body. What is the transmission route of lymphoma? Experts suggest that lymphoma is not contagious, so there is no transmission route. Let us look at the causes of lymphoma.

1. Physical causes (radiation). The incidence of lymphoma is not only related to the dose of absorbed radiation, but also to the age at the time of exposure. The incidence of lymphoma is higher in people under 25 years old exposed to radiation than in other groups. The impact of medical radiation on the incidence of human tumors has received increasing attention, especially high-dose radiation has a promoting effect on the occurrence of human lymphoma.

2. Chemical causes: Among the types of chemical carcinogens, alkylating agents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic amine compounds are related to the causes of lymphoma.

3. Immune factors. Malignant lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the immune system. Immunodeficiency is one of the important causes of malignant lymphoma. Under normal circumstances, the human immune system has an immune surveillance function and can clear mutated or cancerous cells in the body. Immunodeficiency patients are prone to opportunistic infections, especially viral infections.

4. Genetic factors. There are many reports on the relationship between genetic factors and the causes of lymphoma. Sometimes, obvious family clustering can be seen, such as brothers and sisters may suffer from malignant lymphoma successively or simultaneously.
