Epidemiology
In the United States, approximately
55,000 new cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are diagnosed annually,
and about 25,000 people die of the
disease each year.
The incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has doubled over the past two decades in the US and most other westernized countries
Epidemiology
Dr.Azarm
The annual incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma has nearly
doubled over the last 55 years
Dr.Azarm
Up to 35 to 65 percent of Poorly - differentiated
neoplasms of unknownprimary site may representcases of NHL

The etiology is unknown -Genetic,
-Environmental , -Infectious agents have been implicated .
-Familial clusters have been described, and there may be a slightly higher risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma among siblings or first-degree relatives of patients with lymphoma or other hematologic
malignancies.
:Etiology
Dr.Azarm
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation may cause immunosuppression However,
studies that have especially evaluated the possible role of UV light in NHL have shown an increased risk for outdoor occupations or exposure to sunlight
Etiology:
Epstein-Barr virus:It has been associated with Burkitt lymphoma.
EBV is persistent in over 95% of adults in nasopharyngeal epithelium and B cells Normally, EBV production is held back by active cellular and humoral immune
mechanisms .In immunodeficiency states, this balance may be disrupted, and EBV-infected B cells begin to proliferate.
Specific illnesses which are risk factors for the development of gastrointestinal lymphoma include
Crohn's disease Gastrointestinal nodular lymphoid hyperplasia Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis Celiac diseas
Ethiologic factors in NHLEthiologic factors in NHL
_ TCR_ Congenital Immunodeficiency s._ Aquaired. I . d._ Auto-immune disorders_ Viral cofactors: Epstein Barr Virus HIV HTLV-1 Herpes Virus Helicobacter Pylori
_ Organ Transplantation
blood transfusion immunosuppression , and transmission of viruses have been discussed Increased incidence of NHL.
It has been reported among patients with: :congenital immune deficiency. - Autoimmune
Rheumatoid arthritis. - -Sjögren's syndrome.
. -Systemic lupus erythematosus Therapy. - immunosuppressive
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens in patients with Hodgkin's disease.

The insecticide chlordane, significantly higher concentrations were found in NHL cases than in controls in the same study the sum of chlordanes in the 27 NHL patients was 180 ng/g lipid compared to 92.8 in the 17 surgical controls
Etiology::
Infections:-Infection with HIV
Infection with human T-lymphocytic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), one of the etiologic
factors in Infectous mononucleosis .-A bacterium that lives in the digestive Helicobacter pylori
-Autoimmune disease-Diseases requiring immune suppressive therapy, often used
following organ transplant .-Inherited immunodeficiency diseases (severe combined
immunodeficiency, ataxia telangiectasia , -

Oncogenic viruses :Oncogenic viruses :
The infection of cells by oncogenic viruses must be considered to be a genetic lesion, since viruses introduce foreign genes into their target cells. Three distinct viruses are associated with the
pathogenesis of specific NHL subtypes .
-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-Human T-cell lymphotropic virusI (HTLV-I)-Human Herpes virus-8 (HHV-8)-Simian virus 40
Simian virus 40Simian virus 40
Simian virus-40 (SV-40) is a polyoma virus with oncogenic potential in humans and animals. Its actions are thought to result from inactivation of tumor suppressors p53
AIDS-related lymphomas:AIDS-related lymphomas: (AIDS-NHL) are invariably derived from B-cells and are classified into 3 main groups:
1- AIDS-related BL (AIDS-BL) .
2- AIDS-related DLBCL (AIDS-DLBCL).
3- AIDS-related body-cavity-based lymphomas
(AIDS-BCL) represent a rare additional type of AIDS-NHL.
Ultraviolet radiation ,previously demonstrated to have an immunosuppressive effect, has also been suggested as a possible risk factor for NHL
Factors thought to increase risk of lymphoma include:
Chemical exposures -dioxins, PCBs, pesticides, solvents, and fertilizer
Chronic infections -H pylori is strongly
Depressed immunity - such as caused by immune-suppressing drugs used to prevent rejection of organ transplants
People infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at an increased risk of developing certain lymphomas
Factors Associated with the development of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
1- Immune abnormalities: Inherited disorders Common variable immunodefeciency , Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome Ataxia-telangictasia , X-linked lymphoprolifrative disorder
Acquired disorders: Solid organ transplant recipients Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Methotrexate therapy for autoimmune disorders Rheumatoid arthritis , Sjogren’s syndrome , Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
2- Infectious agents: Epestein – Barr Virus Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type ! , Human herpes virus 8 Hepatitis C Virus, Helicobacter pylori
3- Occupational and environmental exposure: Herbicides, Organic Solvents, Hair dyes, Ultraviolet light
