Brief Summary

The next-generation sequencing (NGS) based on liquid biopsy has been an emerging technology to identify tumor-specific genetic aberrations in malignant tumors. The tumor tissue (FFPE) and plasma samples from the newly diagnosed pediatric lymphoma patients were collected and sequenced by 475 genes panel before, during and post treatment, to evaluate the significance of the ctDNA in efficacy prediction, predicting recurrence or mechanism of resistance to chemotherapy for pediatric lymphoma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Children with pediatric lymphoma (HL and NHL) that met the criteria and required treatment upon histological and pathological diagnosis; 2. Age: \< 18 years old; 3. The working status of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) (PS) : 0-2 points; 4. CT/MRI measurable lesion was defined as the longest diameter of at least 1 lymph node ≥ 1.5cm, and it was clearly measurable in 2 vertical directions; 5. Complete clinical laboratory examination and pathological examination information; 6. Patients can be evaluated on time, and the required samples can be obtained throughout the testing process; 7. After the patient is informed of the project, the informed consent signed by the patient or his legal representative is obtained. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with any of the following items will not be enrolled in this study: 1.
