Human lymphomas have become of great interest in recent years, because of a dramatic increase in understanding of the different lymphoid cell types giving rise to these tumours, and because modern treatment, involving surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and marrow transplantation, have improved the overall prognosis. Lymphomas also provide insights into the role of oncogenes in cell physiology. Continued improvement in the management of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas is dependent on close collaboration between pathologists, basic scientists and oncologists. The authorship of this book includes clinicians and pathologists and their partnership reflects their professional collaboration. When dealing with genetics, histological methods, normal and abnormal lymph nodes, nodal and extra nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and modern therapeutics, the authors stress clinical and pathological correlations. An important feature is the emphasis on non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in tissues other than the lymph node.
