About the Book

This illustrated resource provides comprehensive coverage of lymphomas and lymphocytic leukemias, combining clinical hematology with modern developments in the understanding and treatment of lymphoid neoplasms.

Updated Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms

One of the important updates addressed in the selected chapters is the expanded classification of lymphocytic neoplasms by the World Health Organization (WHO). This helps readers understand how evolving disease classifications influence the way malignant lymphoid disorders are characterized.

Biology and Genetics
