==Research==
The two types of lymphoma research are clinical or [[translational research]] and [[basic research]]. Clinical/translational research focuses on studying the disease in a defined and generally immediately applicable way, such as testing a new drug in people. Studies may focus on effective means of treatment, better ways of treating the disease, improving the quality of life for people, or appropriate care in remission or after cures. Hundreds of [[clinical trials]] are being planned or conducted at any given time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=lymphoma |title=Search of: Lymphoma – List Results – ClinicalTrials.gov |access-date=2012-10-30 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130106213155/http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=lymphoma |archive-date=2013-01-06 }}</ref>

Basic science research studies the disease process at a distance, such as seeing whether a suspected carcinogen can cause healthy cells to turn into lymphoma cells in the laboratory or how the DNA changes inside lymphoma cells as the disease progresses. The results from basic research studies are generally less immediately useful to people with the disease,<ref>{{cite web|website=The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society|title=Understanding Clinical Trials for Blood Cancers|url=http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/attachments/National/br_1162487596.pdf|publisher=Leukemia and Lymphoma Society|access-date=19 May 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110105213515/http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/attachments/National/br_1162487596.pdf|archive-date=5 January 2011}}</ref> but can improve scientists' understanding of lymphoma and form the foundation for future, more effective treatments.

A study from [[Lund University]] revealed that people with [[tattoos]] are a high risk group for lymphoma, especially diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The risk of lymphoma was highest among those who had their first tattoo after 2021, regardless of the tattoo's size.<ref>{{Cite web
