2. Weakened Immune System

A weakened immune system can lead to a higher risk of lymphoma. Conditions that can weaken the immune system include autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease, frequent infections, and immunosuppressive medications like those given to people who have received organ transplants.

When the immune system is not working as effectively as it can, it is less able to find and fight cancer cells, which can allow them to grow out of control and spread.
