Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults and pediatric patients diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are undergoing lymph node excision for non-cancer therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This research focuses on studying the molecular and cell biology of tumor cells in patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. By analyzing these cells, the study aims to gain insights into how lymphoma develops and spreads. The findings may contribute to the creation of new materials for future treatments or monitoring responses to existing therapies. The study involves collecting tissue samples from patients undergoing routine procedures, such as lymph node excision.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatment strategies and monitoring techniques for lymphoma patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in understanding lymphoma biology, but this specific approach may provide novel insights.
