    Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the sixth most common cancer, with increasing incidence linked to environmental and genetic factors.

  • 2

    This study evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in various B-cell NHL subtypes in China.

  • 3

    HBV infection was found in 9.0% of B-NHL patients, significantly higher than the general population, particularly in aggressive B-NHL cases.

  • 4

    Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) patients exhibited a notably high HBV prevalence of 18.8%, indicating a strong association.

  • 5

    Both HBV and HCV infections were more prevalent in SMZL patients compared to other B-NHL subtypes, suggesting a potential etiologic role.
