hodgkin's lymphoma

What causes hodgkin's lymphoma. Until now doctors keep on saying it's an unknown cause, some due to stress but it's a common thing about cancer that stress is one of the factors.

Age and gender
The peak age for Hodgkin’s lymphoma is 15 to 29. It is the 3rd most common cancer in this age group. It then becomes less common until older age, when the number of cases increases again. It is slightly more common in men than in women.

Lowered immunity
Anyone whose immune system is not working properly may be more likely to develop a lymphoma. This includes people who are taking drugs to stop organ rejection after a transplant, people who have HIV or AIDS, people born with rare medical syndromes that affect immunity, and people who develop 'autoimmune' conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus (SLE).

There are other risk factors that have been investigated, but there is no strong evidence for any of them.
