New classifications for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 99))

Abstract

For decades, attempts to design clinically and biologically relevant classifications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have been the topic of intense debate [1–5]. In recent years, our understanding of the basic biological aspects of malignant lymphoma has accelerated rapidly. Unfortunately, this explosion of knowledge has imparted extreme complexity to the subject of lymphoma classification. Much of this complexity reflects the true biologic diversity of lymphoid neoplasia. At times, however, this complexity has been aggravated by variation in interobserver reliability [6] and by the use of different terms assigned by different investigators to describe biologically identical cell types or disease entities [4,6]
