International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph)

The goal of the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) is to enhance collaboration among epidemiologists studying lymphoma, provide a forum for the exchange of research ideas, and create a framework for collaborating on analyses that pool data from multiple studies. Within the consortium, DCEG investigators are currently leading pooled analyses to 1) investigate whether the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with cigarette smoking and personal hair dye use is modified by genetic variation in N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2), which encode enzymes that metabolize aromatic and heterocyclic amines, and 2) provide the first comprehensive assessments of risk factors for several rare lymphoma subtypes.
