CAUSES OF LYMPHOMA

The exact cause of lymphoma remains unknown. However, some forms of lymphoma are more likely to develop in people who have taken drugs to prevent rejection of an organ following a transplant or who have reduced immunity, for example people with HIV or AIDS. It is thought that, certain chemicals in insecticides and wood preserving materials may cause lymphoma(2). It is known however, that lymphomas are not contagious and cannot be passed down through families
