Abstract
Lymphoma, a diverse group of hematologic malignancies, has shown increasing incidence rates globally, with various risk factors contributing to its development. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology and key risk factors associated with lymphoma, highlighting their importance for early detection and prevention strategies. Epidemiological data reveal variations in lymphoma subtypes, such as Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, across different populations and geographic regions, influenced by age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental factors. Identifiable risk factors include genetic predisposition, autoimmune diseases, viral infections environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and obesity. Understanding the interplay of these factors is crucial for developing targeted screening methods and public health interventions aimed at high-risk populations. Additionally, early detection strategies, including biomarker identification and advanced imaging techniques, can improve prognosis by enabling timely diagnosis and treatment.
