Polychlorinated biphenyls and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Several epidemiologic studies suggest that polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels measured in peripheral blood or adipose tissue are related to increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and, therefore, may be at least partially responsible for the rising incidence of NHL unrelated to HIV infection in recent decades. Case-control studies that measured PCBs in blood, adipose tissue, or househol...
متن کاملPlasma Levels of Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Causation
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are synthetic chlorinated hydrocarbons that have extensively polluted the environment and bioaccumulated in the food chain. PCBs have been deemed to be probable carcinogens by the Environmental Protection Agency, and exposure to high levels of PCBs has been consistently linked to increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In the present article we present a f...
متن کاملHodgkin Lymphoma and Anaplastic Variants of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Background and Objectives: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and some cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have overlapping morphologic features. Since they all represent distinct clinico-pathologic entities, we explored the differential diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping to discriminate between them. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملCurrent Status of the Epidemiologic Evidence Linking Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and the Role of Immune Dysregulation
BACKGROUND Although case-control studies conducted to date have largely affirmed the relationship between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), occupational cohort studies of PCB-exposed workers have been generally interpreted as negative, thereby raising doubts about a potential causal association. A common theme of immune dysregulation unifies many of NHL's stronges...
متن کاملNON-HODGKIN\'S LYMPHOMA IN IRAN
Two hundred and ninety cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from the Fars Province Cancer Registry and Mashad University Hospital were reviewed and classified according to the new International Working Formulation for clinical use. The cases fall into low-grade (35 male, 26 female), intermediate-grade (61 male, 26 female), and high-grade (84 male, 26 female) groups. Each group includes several ...
