Key objectives of working group

The key objectives of this working group are to:

• Initiate and implement (inter)national multicenter phase II and phase III clinical studies in the different subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
• Cooperate with international study groups, including the Nordic Lymphoma group, German HL study group, SAKK, EORTC, GELA and the European MCL network
• Collaborate with the HOP (HOVON pathology Group), to initiate and facilitate biological side studies linked to clinical studies.
• Collaborate with the HOVON imaging working group, to optimize imaging diagnostics with FDG-PET scans, CT scans and MRI (for the purpose of staging and response evaluation of lymphomas) and to initiate and facilitate secondary imaging studies).
• Collaborate with the HOVON Lunenberg Lymphoma Phase I/II Consortium (LLPC) to enable early access to promising new treatments for lymphoma patients
• Collaborate with the HOVON IEC working group, to develop studies and enable access to effector cell therapies
• Develop guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, and facilitate expert opinion
• Cooperate with Hematon, to optimize patient information and participation in studies
• Cooperate with IKNL, to support collecting population based data and research arising therefrom
