Many cases are obtained through the Nebraska Lymphoma Study Group. A detailed computerized database of this data is linked with a clinical database containing the clinical presentation, response to therapy, and follow-up. Using this data, detailed clinicopathologic analyses of various types of lymphoma are performed and prognostic indicators are determined. Recent studies evaluating the new DNA microarray chip technology are in progress. Also, the risk for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and related disorders is increased in women who use hair dyes, particularly permanent and dark colors, and in women using insecticides.
Recent studies evaluating additional dietary factors are in progress.
