Lymphoma Risk: Why Men Are More Affected Than Women Lymphoma, a blood cancer originating in the lymphatic system, affects individuals regardless of gender, but men exhibit a notably higher incidence. Evidence indicates that men not only are more prone to both non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma but also face more aggressive disease manifestations and less favorable prognosis.

Analyzing these distinctions is essential for improving prevention, detection, and treatment for lymphoma patients. Key Factors Behind Higher Lymphoma Risk in Men Biological and Hormonal…
