eligibility

Patients recently diagnosed with lymphoma at hospitals participating in LaRDR will be included in the registry unless they choose not to participate.  The following criteria must be met for a patient to be included:

• A new diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and related diseases
• Diagnosis within 6 months prior to ethics approval at the hospital, to minimise retrospective data collection.
• Age ≥18 years
• Cause of death listed as lymphoma.

It is important to note that your details will automatically be included in the registry unless you let us know that you do not want to participate. Participation is entirely voluntary and you can choose to opt-out at any time, without affecting your treatment in any way.

To opt out of participating in LaRDR, please contact us at +61 3 99030558 or email us at lymphomaregsitry@monash.edu.

information collected

The following information is routinely collected in clinical care and will be provided to the registry database:

• Name and date of birth
• Medical history and current health status
• Diagnosis and treatment details

The information and details collected  will never be released and only used in a de-identified (anonymous) format for research purposes.

There are general resources for understanding lymphoma provided by the following organisations. The contents are independent of LaRDR.  Your haematologists and lymphoma nurses always remain the best points of contact if you have questions about your lymphoma diagnosis and treatment options.
