Abstract
The article presents an investigation that deals with the relationship between potential occupational risk factors and lymphoid malignancy (LM). The etiology of LM remains unknown except for some established risk factors. A multicenter hospital-based case-control study which includes 824 incident cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), multiple myeloma, and lymphoproliferative syndrome and 752 frequency-matched controls is done in France. It is suggested that farming plays a role in most types of lymphoid malignancy.
