Observational Study of Lymphoma Cells

This study is looking at lymphoma cells to better understand how Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma grow and spread. Researchers will collect tumor tissue from people diagnosed with these conditions to study the cells' molecular and cell biology. The goal is to learn more about lymphoma, which could help develop new treatments or ways to track how well treatments are working in the future. You can join if you have Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, regardless of its type or stage, and are having a routine procedure to collect tissue. This is an observational study, meaning no specific interventions are being tested. The study is ongoing and aims to enroll up to 9999 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study that plans to include up to 9999 participants. It is not testing any specific interventions or treatments.
What's involved
You would provide tumor tissue collected during a routine procedure, such as a lymph node excision, tonsillectomy, or surgery for sleep apnea.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will continue indefinitely to collect tumor tissue and characterize lymphoma cells.
