RACOON-RESCUE is Advancing Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Care

Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is the fourth most common tumor in children and adolescents, yet its radiological methods lack standardization, leaving room for significant improvement.

The RACOON-RESCUE project addresses this gap by uniting pediatric radiologists and oncologists from all German university hospitals to systematically analyze imaging data, aiming to enhance diagnosis, treatment response assessment, and follow-up care for pediatric NHL.

The findings from RACOON-RESCUE aim to support the development of optimized and personalized diagnostic and risk-adapted therapeutic approaches.

Read the full interview with the project leads, Prof. Dr. Diane Renz and Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Wößmann, to learn more about the initiative.
