Is lymphoma a genetic type disorder?

NO it is not. I am the only one on both sides of my family to have Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I was in stage 4 and have managed to be in remission for over 7 years now.

Reply:Generally speaking, it's not hereditary.
Reply:Genetics can sometimes play a factor in diagnosis of carcinomas.


Genetics in diagnosis of a type of T-cell lymphoma has been found to be a factor and is known to result from the patient including triticeae glutens in their diet.





Mutations of certain types of genes have also been shown to increase risk in some types of cancers, such as ovarian cancer and breast cancer, brain tumors, and sarcomas.





Hope this helps

Reply:Not usually but i suppose it can be.


Studies have shown that lymphoma is most common in men who work with certain chemicals such as those found in farm fertilisers.


It is one of the most common types of cancer and also the most curable.
