Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Lymphoma Receiving Doxorubicin
Summary
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, may help doctors detect early changes in the heart caused by chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well cardiac magnetic resonance imaging works in patients with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma receiving doxorubicin.
Full Description
OBJECTIVES:
To determine whether early myocardial structural and functional changes can be detected using cardiac MRI in patients with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma receiving doxorubicin hydrochloride-based chemotherapy.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo cardiac MRI with gadolinium contrast prior to initiation of doxorubicin hydrochloride-based chemotherapy and 3 months after completion of six courses of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and twelve courses of chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma.
