perhaps, how your former husbands death affected you] Epidemiology and Etiology Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is five times as common as Hodgkins disease and the incidence of this disease has increased
since the 1970s (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2008). It is cancer that attacks the lymphatic system (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2008). Although Hodgkins disease was first identified in 1832, the etiology and
pathogenesis of both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin remain unknown even though non-Hodgkin lymphomas is the sixth most common cancer in the country (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2008; NursingLink, 2007). There has been
some evidence that both forms of lymphoma cancer are "derived from germinal center of post-germinal center B-cell differentiation" (NursingLink, 2007). B-cells are associated with bone marrow with the cancer being
the result of the genesis of B-cell neoplasms (NursingLink, 2007). Neoplasms of T-cell, which is associated with the thymus, are very rare, accounting for just 15 percent of all non-Hodgkin
lymphoma cancer cases (NursingLink, 2007). Infectious etiologies have also been discussed, dating back to the original identification of Hodgkin disease (NursingLink, 2007). Initially, it was thought that tuberculosis caused
Hodgkin Disease but scientists subsequently realized that the Disease is associated with different kinds of defects in the immune system (NursingLink, 2007). At that point, scientists concluded that tuberculoses was
a consequence rather than a cause (NursingLink, 2007). There has also been some evidence that the Epstein-Barr virus may cause Hodgkins (NursingLink, 2007). Hodgkins is more prevalent in people who
have the Epstein-Barr virus (NursingLink, 2007). Another piece of evidence is the fact that people who have the HIV virus are 20 times more likely to get Hodgkins and 100
times more likely to get non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NursingLink, 2007). In the 1980s, there was a an increase in the number of young men being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NursingLink, 2007).
