Pay attention to the five major causes of lymphoma

In recent years, the incidence of lymphoma is still very high. As a patient, we must first pay attention to the causes of lymphoma . What are the causes of lymphoma? Let’s take a look at the causes of lymphoma.

⑴. Immune factors. Malignant lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the immune system. Immunodeficiency is a common cause of 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.

(2) Viral etiology. Viruses are an important research direction in tumor etiology. According to the current research situation, the viruses that are closely related to malignant lymphoma include Epstein-Barr virus, human T-lymphotropic virus, and human B-lymphotropic virus.

⑶. Chemical etiology. Among the types of chemical carcinogens, alkylating agents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, and aromatic amine compounds are related to the onset of malignant lymphoma. The occurrence of malignant lymphoma caused by chemical drugs is not uncommon. For example, there have been reports of cyclophosphamide, methylbenzylhydrazine, and L-phenylalanine nitrogen mustard causing malignant lymphoma. In agricultural production, with the application of pesticides and fertilizers, the incidence and mortality of malignant lymphoma in the rural population are constantly increasing.

⑷. Physical causes. The cause 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 in people under 25 years old who are exposed to radiation is higher than that 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.

⑸. Genetic factors: There are many reports on the causes of lymphoma, and sometimes obvious family clustering can be seen, such as brothers and sisters can suffer from malignant lymphoma successively or simultaneously.

The five points emphasized above are about the causes of lymphoma. I believe you should all understand them. Generally speaking, the causes of lymphoma are still very complicated. After understanding the causes of lymphoma, it is necessary to control the spread of the disease in time. Here I wish you a speedy recovery.
