REDLAMP 10: Can Physical Activity Lower the Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?

The association between physical activity and a lower risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not well proven and few studies have established any link. However, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention published results from a case controlled study on physical activity and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In this video Dr. Peter Martin explains the rationale of this case study, its findings, and important takeaways for people who may be at risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

REDLAMP 9: Prognostic Factors for Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Plasmablastic Lymphoma

Plasmablastic lymphoma is an aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma commonly associated with HIV infection, and an unfavorable diagnosis. Though it’s also often found in immunocompetent patients. The Journal of Hematology & Oncology recently published a clinicopathologic analysis of patients with plasmablastic lymphoma, and measured their outcomes. In this video, Dr. John Allan explains the results of this study, and offers takeaways for patients with this aggressive lymphoma.

Lymphoma Program to Collaborate with Mayo Clinic in Nationwide, Multi-Instutional Grant on Survivorship in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Last week the Mayo Clinic received an $11 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support research addressing the current and long-term unmet healthcare needs of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This NCI funded, multi-institutional project is known as the “Lymphoma Epidemiology of Outcomes Cohort Study”. At the Weill Cornell site, Dr. Peter Martin will serve as the Principal Investigator, and Dr. John Leonard will be a participating investigator.

As Principal Investigator at the Weill Cornell site, Dr. Martin, who is the Charles, Lillian, and Betty Neuwirth Clinical Scholar in Oncology, will be overseeing the recruitment of participants and reporting of outcomes. “The LEO Collaboration will be the largest study of it’s kind anywhere in the world and will undoubtedly lead to important, impactful discoveries. We look forward to enrolling participants at Weill Cornell as we seek avenues to increase long-term prognosis and survivorship for those living with NHL,” says Dr. Martin.

Working with participating investigators, Dr. John Leonard and Dr. Giorgio Inghirami (Pathology, Weill Cornell Medical College). “This multi-institutional collaborative study group, supported by the NCI, has a highly productive track record. We are very happy to be a part of it,” says Dr. Leonard.
