5. Sex
Another factor that can help determine whether or not somebody is likely to develop lymphoma is sex. Whether or not a male or female is more or less likely to develop lymphoma will depend on the specific type of lymphoma.
Where Hodgkin lymphoma is concerned, for example, men are more likely to catch the disease than women are. Women are, however, more likely to develop other types of lymphoma. Regardless of sex, regular check-ups can help to ensure any problem is diagnosed early. This can make a very big difference when it comes to treating the condition, increasing the patient’s chances of making a full recovery.
