	<span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The epidemiology of
Hodgkin¡¯s Lymphoma (HL) varies with age at clinical onset. In developing
countries, the disorder appears predominantly during childhood and its incidence
decreases </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">with age, while in industrialized
countries, the in</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">cidence rate increase with age. There has long been a
view that the differences in descriptive epidemiology of Hodgkin¡¯s Lymphoma
around the world, and also between children, young adults and older adults may
reflect differences in etiology between them. Hodgkin¡¯s Lymphoma has long been
suspected to have an infectious precursor, and indirect evidence has implicated
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as a causal agent. The </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">etiology of EBV-negative cases remains obscure. </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Epidemiological
investigation of the etiology of </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Hodgkin¡¯s
Lymphoma is making steady progress, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and it leads to a better
understanding and hence prevention. This review considers in detail the descriptive
and the etiological epidemiology of Hodgkin¡¯s Lymphoma.</span></span>
