Israeli lifestyle and environment may pose exceptional risks for Hodgkin's lymphoma

(The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) In Israel, the incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is among the highest in the world and has risen sharply over the past 45 years. Researchers found an association between being born in Israel and occurrence of HL, and an elevated risk of HL within one generation of moving to Israel. This could point to environmental causes such as exposures, diet, climate, social environment, and stress related to chronic regional conflict.
