It is a rare type of cancer that often begins in the body’s organs such as the tummy (abdomen) or spleen
Causes of Burkitt’s cancer
No one knows exactly what causes Burkitt lymphoma.
Researchers studying Burkitt’s lymphoma cells link the condition to changes in the MYC gene and other genes they have found in the cancer cells. The MYC gene controls some aspects of cell growth and researchers are still investigating the causes of the genetic changes.
In some cases, people infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the United States also develop Burkitt lymphoma, but not everyone who has this virus develops Burkitt lymphoma.
