Research

Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers are studying lymphoma to look for new ways to improve diagnosis and treatment for this cancer.

Areas of research include:

  • Designing and conducting clinical trials for more effective and less toxic treatments for all forms of lymphoma.
  • Developing the first genetic test to help guide the diagnosis and treatment of people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Understanding who is more likely to have a relapse of lymphoma and why.
  • Finding ways to improve quality of life after lymphoma treatment.
