The leading German research groups and health care facilities in the field of malignant lymphomas have joined forces in the Competence Network Malignant Lymphomas. The cooperation aims to improve communication between scientists, health care professionals and patients, and to accelerate the transfer of the latest scientific findings into primary health care, thereby ensuring the best treatment options and information for any lymphoma patient.
The results of the German lymphoma study groups have led to significant progress in the diagnosis and therapy of malignant lymphomas over the past few decades. Within the network, the study groups are working together with professionals in hemato-oncology, pathology and radiotherapy, and with scientists, statisticians and computer specialists. In order to address patients' questions and to include their needs into the research projects, patients, patients' advocates and self-help groups are also involved in the network.

The Competence Network Malignant Lymphomas is part of the funding measure "Competence Networks in Medicine".
