there must be at least one lesion that has a single diameter of >= 1.5 cm. NOTE: Skin
lesions can be used if the area is >= 1.5cm in at least one diameter and photographed
with a ruler. Patients with assessable disease by PET/CT are also eligible as long as
the assessable disease is biopsy proven lymphoma
