Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Number and type of genetic driver mutations potentially relevant for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment prediction, assessed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) for each tumour case at diagnosis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Progression-free survival, assessed using data from medical records, the Swedish lymphoma register and Swedish cause-of-death register from the date of study inclusion to relapse, death or end of follow-up 2. Overall survival assessed using the Swedish cause-of-death register from the date of study inclusion to death or end of follow-up 3. Level of cell-free tumour DNA measured quantitatively using haploid genome equivalents per ml of plasma at diagnosis, after the first treatment, at interim analysis, end-of-treatment and once yearly 4. Quality of life assessed using the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire at diagnosis and at 1, 2 and 5 years after diagnosis
