Summary

This comprehensive but concise text on malignant lymphoma, relatively common neoplasms which epidemiological data show to be increasing in incidence, covers the full range of scientific and clinical developments that have occurred in the investigation and treatment of these conditions duringrecent years. All aspects of both Hodgkin's Disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are discussed, from the underlying pathophysiology through diagnosis to clinical management. The text represents both current views and likely future developments, and covers a broad spectrum of clinical care from theroutine to the highly experimental. The authors represent an international group of highly respected authorities, with editorship shared by two leading UK clinicians, a UK pathologist and a US clinician, Professor James Armitage from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and a world renownedexpert on these diseases.
