Abstract

Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHLs) are a diverse collection of malignant neoplasms of lymphoid cell origin which include all the malignant lymphomas that are not classified as Hodgkin lymphoma. NHL is the sixth most common type of cancer diagnosed in men and women in the United Kingdom. In the United States of America the past four decades have seen nearly an 80% rise in the incidence of NHL, one of the largest increases observed among any cancer. With improved understanding of biology, data from sequential disease-based clinical trials as well as better supportive care, the outcome of NHL has improved dramatically over the last several decades. Using conventional therapy, depending on subtype and stage, the majority of young adults with NHL can be cured. New insights into the molecular pathogenesis of NHL combined with recent headways in molecular biology and genetics have led to the discovery of several oncogenic pathways involved in lymphomagenesis, which in turn has augmented the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for NHL patients. This review describes the presentation and evaluation of NHL and summarizes the current concepts about molecular diagnostics of the common subtypes.
