ICO coordinates the meeting, within the framework of INTERLYMPH

On June 14th and 15th, the 6th anual meeting of INTERLYMPH (International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium) is held. It is organized by ICO with the support of CREAL (Environmental Epidemiology Research Centre, after the acronym in Spanish), located in the Biomedic Research Park in Barcelona. The objective of these two days’ debates is to reach an agreement on which the lines of epidemiology research will be; these are to lead the studies on lymphomas in the next 20 years: epigenetics, infections, analysis of survival, ocupation... More than 100 world experts participate.

INTERLYMPH is an international consortium created six years ago to provide a space for the discussion about the epidemiology of the lymphoma, define common research lines, and allow the interchange and addition of data from all over the world. The National Institute of Cancer of the U.S.A. launched it; institutions well-known internationally are part of it. ICO, through its Epidemiology and Cancer Register Service is one of its members from the beginning.
