Can I Prevent Hodgkin’s Disease?

Prevention

No one is sure how to prevent Hodgkin’s disease. The best way to lower your small chance of getting Hodgkin’s disease is to stay away from as many risk factors as possible. However, most risk factors for Hodgkin’s disease are not in your control. People with known risk factors should talk with their doctor.
