Results
Phase:
Other
This study looked at samples from people with non Hodgkin lymphoma that started in either the brain, the spinal cord (the central nervous system), or the testicles (
), to learn more about these cancer cells.
Doctors wanted to find out why these cells behave abnormally. People gave a blood sample and permission for researchers to study other samples already given as part of routine care. They looked for the ‘immunoglobulin gene’, which helps the cancer cell to survive. They hoped that this research would help develop new treatments for these conditions in future. The aims of this study were to understand more about
- The lymphoma cells, and why they behave in an unusual way
- The immunoglobulin gene, and how it helps the lymphoma cells to survive
