In a case-control study in northeastern Italy hepatitis C virus infection seemed to increase by about 50-fold the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving the liver and major salivary glands (i.e. larger than that for hepatocellular carcinoma) and by about fourfold the risk of lymphomas at other sites.
