A member asked:
My dad;s cousin had non hodgkins lymphoma when she was in her 40's -- is it hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: We still do not know exact causes for NHL. There are many risk factors, such as infection, immunodef, etc. But, there is no evidence thus far that NHL is hereditary.
