Diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for lymphoma patients: expert consensus through Nominal Group Technique and Delphi methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lymphomas encompass a heterogeneous group of B- and T-cell malignancies necessitating a complex and precise management. With the aim to define standardized diagnostic and therapeutic pathways across multiple hematology centers in Italy, the "Right Path 4 Lymphomas" project was designed as a multidisciplinary expert platform designed to establish consensus-driven diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.

Methods

Using a two-phase methodology - the Nominal Group Technique followed by a Delphi process - experts systematically evaluated and prioritized key diagnostic and therapeutic topics for five major lymphoma subtypes: classical Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
