Clinical and Pathologic Studies in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Hodgkin's Disease

Recruiting
Conditions
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin
Hodgkin's Disease
Registration Number
NCT00398177
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the molecular and cell biology of the tumor cells in lymphoma.

Detailed Description

This research involves the study of lymphoma cells in order to better understand how the disease grows and spreads. This study may lead to the development of special materials that could be used, in the future, to treat lymphoma or to follow the response of lymphoma to treatment.
