Brief summary
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at genes in tissue samples from patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Detailed description
OBJECTIVES: * To determine if toxicity following treatment for lymphoma varies according to genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress-related genes (i.e., SOD2, CAT, GPX1, GSTM1, and GSTP1). * To assess whether these genetic polymorphisms are associated with progression-free survival and/or overall survival in these patients treated for lymphoma. OUTLINE: Previously collected samples are used for biomarker analysis.
