How can lymphoma be prevented?

No: Unfortunately there's no known way of preventing lymphoma. Certain rare types of lymphoma only occur in patients with HIV or can be caused by other infections, so in one sense preventing these infections can prevent lymphoma.

Luck: No risk factors to avoid preventing lymphoma. It is just bad luck that someone gets it.
