Scientists hunt for clues to tell apart two Look-Alike lymphomas

NCT ID NCT07313943

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at rare lymphomas that are hard to tell apart under the microscope—some look like Hodgkin lymphoma but lack a key marker (PAX5), making them similar to another type called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 60 adults to find genetic and protein patterns that can better distinguish these two diseases. The goal is to improve diagnosis, since the two types have very different survival rates and treatments.
