Etiology:
Unfortunately, the causes of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is unknown. The reason that this particular cancer form is due to an increase in lymphocyte replication. It causes the cells to grow and divide making the lymph nodes larger. Due to the unknown cause of NHL, the risk factors are not obvious but there are risk factors that could increase the risk of NHL for example, a history of autoimmune disease, age (60 years or older), infection particularly HIV, Epstein-Barr virus or Helicobacter pylori, and exposure to certain chemicals particularly pesticides.
Pathophysiological process:
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is derived from malignant B or, T lymphocytes (less common) and their precursors. The current characterization of a cell is dependent
