Who is studied
Patients with mediastinal lymphoma are recorded who require consolidating mediastinal radiotherapy as part of their primary therapy. Since there is no intervention in the registry study, patients who are being treated in a therapy study (e.g. in the context of the ongoing Hodgkin studies) can also be included.
