European Inter-Group for Childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
The European Inter-Group for Childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a cooperative network created to enhance collaboration among groups studying and treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children, adolescents and young adults.
One of its main goals is to advance research by developing comprehensive programmes and multicentre clinical trials for children with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. EICNHL also promotes basic and translational research, essential for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease and discovering new therapeutic approaches.
In addition to its research initiatives, the group also participates in outreach programmes designed to support research and treatment efforts in developing countries, ensuring that advances in care are made accessible to the wider global community.
