What is the cause of lymphoma

Lymphoma is a type of tumor disease. Lymphoma is a relatively malignant disease that is very harmful to the human body. At present, 50% of the causes of malignant lymphoma in China have not been fully clarified. The specific analysis of the causes of lymphoma is as follows:

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

Environmental factors: Increased environmental pollution, accelerated pace of life, increased work and psychological pressure, irregular life and diet, smoking and drinking, and heavy academic burden on students are all major factors leading to the high incidence of lymphoma.

Viruses are an important topic in the study of tumor etiology. According to the current research status of relevant data, Epstein-Barr virus, human T-lymphotropic virus, human B-lymphotropic virus and malignant lymphoma are closely related.

Chemical causes: Alkylating agents, aromatic amine compounds, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds among chemical carcinogens are related to the causes of malignant lymphoma. The incidence of malignant lymphoma caused by chemical drugs is not uncommon. For example, there are reports on the causes of malignant lymphoma caused by drugs such as cyclophosphamide, L-phenylalanine nitrogen mustard, and methyl procarbazine. The use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in agriculture has also led to a continuous increase in the incidence and mortality of malignant lymphoma.

Immune deficiency is one of the causes of malignant lymphoma. Under normal circumstances, the human immune system has an immune surveillance function, which can reject and eliminate mutated or cancerous cells in the body. Patients with immune deficiency are prone to infection, especially viral infection of lymphoma.

Physical causes: The cause of malignant lymphoma is not only related to the absorbed radiation dose, but also to the age at the time of exposure. The incidence of malignant lymphoma in people under 30 years old who have been exposed to radiation is higher than that in other people who have not been exposed to radiation. 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 incidence of human malignant lymphoma.

The above is an introduction to the causes of lymphoma. I believe that everyone has already understood the causes of lymphoma. Experts remind you: If you have a disease, you must get diagnosed and treated as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary harm caused by worsening of the disease. I wish you good health.
