About this study

In plain language

This study looks at how genes and things people are exposed to may play a role in blood and lymph node cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma. It is for families with at least two living blood relatives who have a lymphoproliferative disorder, a condition in which too many white blood cells grow.

Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since there is evidence that these cancers cluster in families, this study aims to understand how genetics and environmental exposures contribute to the development of these cancers.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
