This study tests a personalized approach for people with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After two cycles of standard chemoimmunotherapy, a blood test checks for leftover cancer DNA. If found, patients get low-dose radiation to those spots alongside their regular t…

This study looks at whether starting tube feeding right after a stem cell transplant can lower the risk of severe gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with blood cancers or serious blood disorders. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard nutr…
