Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

This laboratory study is collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to establish a biologic specimen repository (of tumor tissue, tissue arrays, lymphoblastoid cell lines, host DNA, tumor and host RNA, serum, and plasma) and database linked to clinical features and outcomes from well-characterized cohorts of children and young adults with Hodgkin's lymphoma and to provide specimens from diagnosis, early response evaluation, completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, long-term follow up, and relapse to study prognostic factors for early response, relapse, long-term outcomes, and identification of new biological targets for therapy.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Lymphoma
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates Hodgkin's lymphoma in young patients by collecting and storing tissue and blood samples. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. The study aims to create a repository of biological specimens and a database linked to clinical features and outcomes.

The study will collect samples at different stages, including diagnosis, early response evaluation, completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, long-term follow-up, and relapse. These samples will be used to study prognostic factors for early response, relapse, and long-term outcomes, as well as to identify new biological targets for therapy.

  • Who can participate: Young patients diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, typically aged 18 or younger, who are undergoing treatment, may be eligible to participate.
  • Study details: Participants will provide tissue and blood samples at various stages of their treatment and follow-up. These samples will be stored in a repository for future research.
