Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy, which is commonly a sensorimotor neuropathy, remains a major complication of lymphoma patients treated with R-CHOP. The investigators propose a clinical, electrophysiological and biological follow up of patients treated by vincristine for lymphoma to determine the factors implied in VIPN occurrence.
Patients with lymphoma will be evaluated before chemotherapy (T1), after 4 cycles (T2), at the end of the chemotherapy treatment (If more than 4 cycles) (T3) and 6 month after the end of chemotherapy (T4).

Nerve conduction parameters
Nerve conduction study (NCS) with standard NCS of the tibial and peroneal motor, sural, sural dorsal, superficial peroneal, median, ulnar, and radial sensory nerves. ENMG study will be bilateral at lower limb and only left side at upper limb. T-Reflex and F-waves will be used to assess proximal nerve function.
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure

Nerve conduction study (NCS) with standard NCS of the tibial and peroneal motor, sural, sural dorsal, superficial peroneal, median, ulnar, and radial sensory nerves. ENMG study will be bilateral at lower limb and only left side at upper limb. T-Reflex and F-waves will be used to assess proximal nerve function.
Time frame: Immediately after 4th Chemotherapy course

Longitudinal study of the evolution of markers of neuropathy
The evolutionary follow-up will be done from NCI-CTC (National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria) score (ranging from 0 - 4). Higher score mean a worse outcome.

Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure
Longitudinal study of the evolution of markers of neuropathy
The evolutionary follow-up will be done from the TNS (Total Neuropathy Score) scale which is based on symptoms, signs and basic instrumental evaluations and provides a much larger range of scoring values (0 - 40) than NCI-CTC scale, thus allowing the severity of CIPN to be graded more precisely. The TNS has so far been used to assess the neurotoxicity of various CIPN-relevant chemotherapeutic agents, and its results are clearly correlated with the clinically relevant results of NCI-CTC scale, which are commonly used by oncologists. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure
Longitudinal study of the evolution of markers of neuropathy
The evolutionary follow-up will be done from the DN4 scale which is a pain scale (ranging from 0 to 10) where 0 equals to no pain and 10 to maximum pain
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure
Longitudinal study of the evolution of markers of neuropathy
The evolutionary follow-up will be done from the EORTC QOL-CIPN20 which is a quality of life scale (ranging from 0-80) where the lower score correspond to less symptoms and the highest score correspond to higher symptoms
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure
Sudoscan (dysautonomic function)
Sudoscan performs a quantitative evaluation of sweat gland function based on an electrochemical reaction between sweat chlorides and electrodes in contact with the hands and feet using reverse iontophoresis and chronoamperometry
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy first cure
Gait parameters using FeetMe device
The quantified evaluation of the subjects' walking will be carried out instrumentally over a 10-meter course using the FeetMe. FeetMeR Monitor insole (FeetMe, Paris, France) is a new wearable medical device (class Im) combining plantar pressure sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes.
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy (T1)
Biological dosages
Immunological factors (IL-6, IL-1b, TNF-a, IL-33, IL-10, CXCL1, CX3CL1)
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy (T1)
Biological dosages
Markers of peripheral nervous system damage (Claudine-5, Occludine, VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)) will be mesured
Time frame: Before Chemotherapy (T1)
Vincristin dosage
Vincristin dosage will be performed at each infusion
Time frame: 1/4 hour after ending of each infusion
