Cachexia http://bit.ly/cmn53Y

Complementary &
Alternative Medicine (CAM)

The objective of responsible CAM practices are generally to improve quality of life, general health or performance - or to mitigate the side effects of therapy. 

It is unethical to prescribe CAM practices as therapy for lymphoma or other cancers outside of a clinical trial.

First-line for
previously untreated

"First line" means that participants must have had no prior treatment (or significant treatment), not that the therapy is superior.

Investigational therapies for previously untreated lymphomas:

Note: This criteria (untreated) is difficult to filter for by query command. Please confirm that the protocols listed are truly for untreated lymphoma by reading the eligibility sections.

	All first-line therapies
	All first line for indolent lymphomas
	All first line for aggressive lymphomas

Treatment-specific first-line studies:

	Chemotherapy, but not doxorubicin (component of CHOP)
	Excluding chemotherapy or transplants
	Antibodies - excluding chemotherapy or transplants
	Vaccines

by Grade of Lymphoma

Grade refers to how aggressive or indolent (slow growing)  the lymphoma is. Grade I is generally most  indolent, and Grade III is most aggressive.

Investigational therapies for lymphomas by rate of growth:

	Grade I | Grade II  | Grade III
	Indolent lymphomas
	Untreated indolent lymphoma
	Indolent recurrent lymphomas
	Transformed lymphoma (indolent changed to aggressive)
	Aggressive lymphomas
	Aggressive recurrent lymphoma

by Stage 

Stage refers to how widespread the disease is.

	All therapies for all stages - Stage I | Stage II | Stage III | Stage IV
	Radiotherapy -  Stage I | Stage II | Stage III | Stage IV

studies for Refractory
Lymphomas

Refractory refers to disease that is resistant to standard treatments.

It is a term without precise definition, however ... in that refractory to therapy A does not mean the lymphoma is not sensitive to therapy B, for example.
