Lymphoma
Disease Group
Lymphoma
Disease Group Profile
Our group focuses on developing novel early phase trials for all lymphoma subtypes, and in partnering with industry on practice changing phase 3 clinical trials. Our members include junior and senior faculty from both academic and community institutions and collaboration within the group is encouraged. We currently have trials active or in development in Hodgkin lymphoma, Mantle Cell lymphoma, and DLBCL. We hope to expand in the areas of indolent lymphomas and T cell lymphomas.
