ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a specialized imaging technique called elastography to see how well it can help doctors assess the response of superficial lymph nodes to treatment in patients with lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. The goal is to determine if elastography can accurately show how well a patient’s lymph nodes are responding to treatment.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma and have swollen lymph nodes that can be seen on the outside of the body. Importantly, they should not have started any treatment yet. During the trial, participants will undergo elastography tests, which are non-invasive and help visualize the lymph nodes without surgery. This study is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could improve how doctors monitor lymphoma treatment in the future.
