Abstract
Although lymphoid malignancies comprise a relatively rare form of human cancer (~3–4%), the pivotal role of the immune system in most biological processes has led to disproportionate interest in malignancies derived from the lymphoreticular system. The ready access to material for investigation in blood and superficial lymphoid tissue has also provided further stimulus to investigation of these malignancies. Nonetheless studies of lymphoid malignancies have revealed important new concepts governing tumour differentiation and behaviour that have much wider application.
