Summary

The process by which the oncology field moves forward seldom involves dramatic breakthroughs. Frequently, what appears at first glance as a breakthrough can result in a modest step forward. Several steps forward eventually add up to a major advance, but this goes unnoticed due to the slow nature of this process. Advances in Lymphoma Research discusses several of the steps that are clearly having a positive impact on the field of lymphomas and will soon make a major difference in the therapeutic results. We are in the middle of an explosion of knowledge about the biology of cancer. Lymphomas are no exception to this. Several recent advances in the understanding of the biological features of these disorders are beginning to bear fruit in regard to potential clinical applications. The Editors of this volume hope that the readers will be convinced after reading Advances in Lymphoma Research that although the pace has been slow, there have been clear advances in this field, some of which are already benefitting our patients and others that soon will.
