What leads to primary bone lymphoma?
A doctor has provided 1 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).
