What causes triple hit non hodgkin lymphoma? is it caused by radiation due to ct scans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely CT scan: Some lymphomas & cancers can occur in areas where previous radiation therapy was done on the body, but those radiation doses are much higher than the doses from a small number of CT scans, so we can say pretty confidently that CT scans do NOT cause cancers. Genetics & chemical exposures may be factors in NHL.
