About this trial
Aims of this study are to describe the variation of QoL (Quality of Life) during the clinical management of low-grade lymphoma in elderly subjects and to identify the most important factors at diagnosis and during treatment with an impact on QoL (Quality of Life).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
QoL (quality of life) scores at baseline - EORTC-QLQ-C30
Quality of life is measured with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of life Questionnaire-Core 30) questionnaire)
QoL (quality of life) scores variations at the end of treatment - EORTC-QLQ-C30
Quality of life is measured with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of life Questionnaire-Core 30)
QoL (quality of life) scores variations after 1 year from the start of therapy - EORTC-QLQ-C30
Quality of life is measured with the EORTC-QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of life Questionnaire-Core 30) and FACT-Lym-LymS (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lymphoma- lymphoma-specific symptoms questionnaire)
QoL (quality of life) scores at baseline - FACT-Lym-LymS
Quality of life is measured with the FACT-Lym-LymS (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lymphoma- lymphoma-specific symptoms)
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival, the percentage of patients alive, is defined as the time between the date of registration and the date of death from any cause.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-Free Survival is defined as the time between the date of registration and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause.
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Event-Free Survival is defined as the time from start of treatment to disease progression, death or discontinuation of treatment for any reason (e.g. toxicity, patient preference), or initiation of a new treatment without document progression.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients who have a complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) to therapy.Overall Response Rate (ORR) will be defined according to the Lugano 2014 criteria.
