Active clinical trials for "Lymphoma"

Mediastinal grey zone lymphoma, B cell lymphomas with intermediate features between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma, are not well described in the literature. Investigators report the clinical characteristics and outcomes of a large retrospective series of 99 cases centrally reviewed by a panel of hematopathologists, with a consensus established for the diagnosis.

In the rituximab era, one-third of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients experience relapse/refractory disease after first-line anthracycline-based immunochemotherapy (IChemo). Optimal management remains an unmet medical need. The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of a cohort of refractory patients according to their patterns of refractoriness and the type of salvage option. The investigators performed a retrospective analysis, which included 104 DLBCL patients treated at Lyon Sud University Hospital (2002-2017) who presented with refractory disease. The investigators retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of a cohort of 104 refractory patients according to their patterns of refractoriness and the type of salvage option.

The purpose of this study is to identify subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma in which the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) protein has been lost.

This research trial studies the use of clinical practice guidelines by pediatric oncology healthcare providers in order to identify, understand, and overcome barriers to them. The treatments for childhood cancers are intense and result in a high rate of symptoms which require support by healthcare providers. By reviewing patients' medical chart records, meeting in focus groups and in one-on-one interviews, healthcare providers may improve how clinical practice guidelines are used to support children undergoing cancer treatment.

To evaluate the possibility of detecting cell-free circulating tumoral DNA in potentially aggressive primary cutaneous lymphomas, the investigator opted to search a representative tumor sample mutation in the blood of these patients, by digital PCR. Patients with mycosis fungoides, primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma helper follicular phenotype and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg-type will be included and 4 blood samples will be collected during 12 months.

FDG-PET/CT is an established modality in various stages of management of lymphoma but definitive information regarding the diagnosis, prognostication, and further management is provided by histopathological examination. Combining the two modalities may provide an incremental benefit by identifying better sites for targetting biopsy and for better verification of sites and causes of FDG uptake seen during PET/CT.

PI3K(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase)/AKT pathway is an important oncogenic signaling pathway. However, clinical information about the significance of p-AKT expression in malignant lymphoma is not fully understood yet. In this study, we investigated the overexpression of p-AKT and its prognostic implication in malignant lymphoma.

The overall objective is to estimate the actual or potential benefit of deep inspiration breath holding (DIBH) treatment in the context of proton radiotherapy as compared to 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated x-ray therapy (IMXT), as it relates to variability in tumor localization, treatment margins, target volume definition, doses to organs at risk and variations with treatment planning.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of clinical and biological factors in patients with refractory/relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

To study clinical features, prognostic factors and treatment outcome and to develop a possible prognostic index in skin/soft tissue primary NK/T cell lymphoma patients.
