Abstract:
To interview 60 female patients with intermediate and high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), each patient was paired with a control who is a neighbour on the age factor. Females who use oral contraceptive pills have a high risk in intermediate and high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas compared to controls. Among the mothers, those using anti-lactating drugs have a lower risk of NHL compared to controls. Menopausal patients have a higher NHL risk compared to women in the reproductive years, whereas menopausal women on hormone replacement therapy have a lower risk compared to controls
