National map of cutaneous lymphomas in Italy
Official title: National Epidemiology of Cutaneous Lymphomas
Run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna · NCT07463989 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try to map how common cutaneous lymphomas are across Italy and see if certain places or environmental exposures are linked to more cases in people with cutaneous lymphoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people aged over 2 years with a diagnosis of primary cutaneous lymphoma who can provide informed consent (or whose guardians can) and are seen at participating Italian dermatology centers.
✕Probably not a fit
People without primary cutaneous lymphoma (for example those with systemic lymphoma involving the skin) or those who cannot attend participating Italian sites are unlikely to benefit from this project.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter observational project combining a retrospective review (patients diagnosed 2018–2022) with a prospective three‑year enrollment phase to build a national registry of primary cutaneous lymphomas in Italy. About 1,000 patients from participating dermatology departments will be included, with the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna coordinating the effort. The study will record clinical, histopathologic, immunophenotypic, and basic molecular data to describe incidence and prevalence and to look for geographic clustering. Investigators will also explore associations with environmental pollutant exposure and coexisting health conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could reveal geographic hotspots and environmental links that help guide earlier diagnosis, targeted monitoring, and public health measures for people with cutaneous lymphoma.
How similar studies have gone: International registry and epidemiology studies have generated useful incidence data and suggested environmental patterns, but a comprehensive nationwide Italian registry is novel.
