Question 1

what are causes of primary bone lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Viral: It appears that lymphoma, especially in bone marrow arises from viral transfection of the Wnt-1 gene.  This occurs in 3 systems, that is the invasion of the MMTV virus into the cells of the milk duct of the breast, the cells of the prostate and the lymphocyte.  The Wnt-1 gene then turns on overexpression of B catenin which leads to the transformation to malignancy.

Question 2

do you know what causes lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: Most of the times we don't know what exactly causes lymphoma so there isn't much we can do to prevent it.  Most cases probably have a genetic component but the process is probably multifactorial and many other things need to happen in order to produce lymphoma.  In a small subset of cases, a distinct cause appears to exist: exposure to toxins, radiation, certain viruses (ex: ebv).

Question 3

what causes triple hit lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Immune system: Lymphoma occurs when white blood cells grow out of control. DNA changes observed in these cells show mutations (single, double or triple) The main risk factors for lymphoma are problems with a persons immune system. This is unlike other cancers where lifestyle factors can play an important role. Other risk factors include age, family history, infections, previous cancers.

Question 4

what causes burkitt lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: The etiology  causes of Burkitt lymphoma is unknown.

Question 5

can celiac disease cause lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Celiac disease: Yes non Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare complication of celiac disease

Question 6

can lymphoma cause constant belching?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but...: It's more likely that a medication related to treatment of lymphoma is causing constant belching.  Anything that slows down the digestive system can cause belching. Lymphoma around the stomach or intestines can do that, but so can many chemotherapy drugs.

Question 7

does lymphoma cause flakes on eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

: Neither lymphoma nor any other cancer does this. Probably seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) as noted in your other question.

Question 8

why does lymphoma cause ldh to increase?

Accepted Answer

Cell turn over: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that is in all our cells. Rapid cell turnover (a combination of proliferation and death) within lymphomas makes the LDH levels rise in the serum. LDH may also rise briefly after effective therapy, as the tumor cells lyse and release LDH.  It should then fall as the number of tumor cells goes down.

Question 9

do you know if lymphoma can cause high monocytes?

Accepted Answer

Not typical.: Monocytes are derived from a different type of white cell than lymphoma cell, so it would not be expected that lymphoma would cause high monocytes.  However high monos are seen in people getting chemotherapy.  There are many other causes including some infections and various bone marrow problems.

Question 10

can lymphoma cause instead of reocurent fevers cause extremely low temps. like 95.0?

Accepted Answer

Check thermometer?: I would try a different thermometer. Fevers are common with lymphoma. Hypothermia can happen in very sick infants. Going out on a limb, problems with the hypothalamus (area of the brain) or thyroid could cause someone to have low body temperature. In theory, a lymphoma located in either of these areas could affect their function, but i would assume other symptoms as well.
