We examined the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in a cohort of 18,313 United States Army veterans from the Vietnam era. Diagnoses were confirmed through a review of hospital records. Among veterans who had died after discharge or who had participated in a telephone interview (8,170 Vietnam veterans and 7,564 non-Vietnam veterans), seven Vietnam veterans and one non-Vietnam veteran had developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (p = 0.07). As none of the NHL cases had military job titles which suggest that they were occupationally exposed to herbicides while in Vietnam, the reasons for the excess are unclear.
我们调查了一批来自越南战争时期的18313名美国陆军退伍军人中非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）的发病率。诊断通过查阅医院记录得以确认。在退伍后死亡或参加过电话访谈的退伍军人中（8170名越南退伍军人和7564名非越南退伍军人），7名越南退伍军人和1名非越南退伍军人患了非霍奇金淋巴瘤（p = 0.07）。由于所有非霍奇金淋巴瘤病例的军事职务都未表明他们在越南期间职业性接触过除草剂，所以发病率过高的原因尚不清楚。
