A population-based case-control study (601 cases and 717 controls) was conducted in 1995-2001 among Connecticut women to evaluate the relation between diet and nutrient intakes and the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). When the highest quartile of intake was compared with the lowest, the authors found an increased risk of NHL associated with animal protein (odds ratio = 1.7, 95% confidence ...

AIMS To determine the spectrum of renal lesions in patients with kidney involvement in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) by renal biopsy. METHODS The clinical features and histological findings at the time of the renal biopsy were assessed for each patient. RESULTS We identified 20 patients with NHL and renal involvement, and the diagnosis of NHL was established following the kidney biopsy in 18...

There is speculation that etiologic heterogeneity exists among tumors classified as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), although it is not known whether diet-related associations vary between tumor subgroups. We analyzed data on 1,642 NHL cases and 5,039 controls aged 20 to 74 years from a population-based case-control study conducted in eight Canadian provinces to explore associations between dietary ...

Several previous studies found inverse associations between alcohol consumption and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma. However, most studies were retrospective, and few distinguished former drinkers or infrequent drinkers from consistent nondrinkers. Therefore, the authors investigated whether history of alcohol drinking affected risks of NHL and multiple myeloma among 102...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although the incidence of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is higher in Far East Asia than in Western countries, its incidence and clinical course in Korea are not well-defined. Therefore, we assessed the relative frequency and clinical features of T-cell NHL in Korea. METHODS We performed a retrospetcive analysis of 586 patients with NHL. RESULTS 101 (17.2%) had T-cell N...

Objective: This study aimed to examine the incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcome of hyperuricemia and tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in children with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included data from 327 patients (113 NHL and 214 ALL). Results: Hyperuricemia occurred in 26.5% and 12.6% of the patients w...

HIV-infected persons treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) continue to have elevated risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We conducted a retrospective cohort study of NHL among patients at an urban HIV clinic (N = 3025). Proportional hazards models identified immunologic and virologic predictors of NHL. Sixty-five NHLs arose during 1989 to 2006. NHL incidence declined over t...

We evaluated the association of two IL10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1800896 and rs1800871) with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) risk in the three major races of the Malaysian population (Malay, Chinese and Indian; 317 cases and 330 controls). Our initial screening demonstrated that rs1800871 but not rs1800896 was significantly associated with increased NHL risk in Malays (pMalay-Rec =...

T helper (Th) 22 cells play important roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and their function in tumors remains uncertain. In the current study, we investigated the alternations and clinical significance of circulating Th22 cells in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). We found that the frequency of Th22 cells was significantly elevated in periphera...

BACKGROUND HIV infection is associated with a marked increase in risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (AIDS-NHL). However, the mechanisms that promote the development of AIDS-NHL are not fully understood. METHODS In this study, serum levels of several cytokines and other molecules associated with immune activation were measured in specimens collected longitudinally during 1 to 5 years preceding AIDS...
