Improving care provision for lymphoma long-term survivors

The progressive improvement of lymphoma therapies has led to a significant prolongation of patient survival and life expectancy.

Among these, second malignancies and cardiopulmonary diseases may be fatal, whereas neuro-cognitive dysfunctions, endocrinopathies, muscle atrophy and persistent fatigue can affect patient quality of life even for decades after treatment.
