How does lymphoma develop?

The early symptoms are similar to those of other malignant tumors. The early manifestations are not very obvious and are easily ignored by patients. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from lymph nodes and other lymphatic tissues. It is mostly caused by the malignant proliferation of the lymphatic tissue cell system. So how does lymphoma form?

Internal factors: There are certain genetic factors in the formation of lymphoma, especially familial lymphoma. This heredity refers to the inheritance of tumors. The physical constitution of these people is prone to cancer under the action of carcinogens, or they have low immunity to abnormal cells, which leads to tumors.

External factors: The lymphatic system is an important defense system in the body. It can help the human body resist the invasion of harmful foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria. When harmful substances such as pathogens invade the human body, the lymphatic tissue is easily out of the control of the human body and becomes a "bad molecule". When the number of "bad molecules" increases, coupled with the influence of adverse environmental factors such as the atmosphere, lymphocytes mutate during the growth process and form a rapidly growing lymphoma. The younger you are, the more active your lymphocytes are, so young people are more likely to contract lymphoma.

In addition to internal genetic factors, other external stimuli may also cause lymphoma, including viral infections such as HTLV, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, chemical carcinogens such as pesticides and hair dyes, radiation exposure, and treatment of Hodgkin's disease.
