This book summarizes current knowledge of the biology and molecular pathogenesis of aggressive lymphomas and reviews the state of the art in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The aim is both to provide the reader with a sound understanding of the very significant progress that has been achieved in the understanding and management of these malignancies over recent years and to facilitate appropriate choice of the therapeutic strategy in individual cases. The assessment of different prognostic parameters are clearly presented in order to permits effective risk stratification that impacts on treatment choice. Recent insights into lymphomagenesis are exemplified and may assist in identifying emerging therapeutic targets. The comprehensive and up-to-date nature of the book will make it an ideal reference for all physicians and researchers interested in lymphoma, including clinicians from various medical specialties, biologists, pathologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine specialist, as well as students.

This book is an up to date compendium on the biology and molecular pathogenesis of lymphomas, which represent malignant cancers of the lymphoid system. With its focus on the biology and genetic basis of these diseases, the book is of interest to basic scientists, biologists, clinical hematologists and pathologists as well as medical students. Different chapters will cover all major lymphoma subtypes, as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and selected less common lymphoma entities such as T-cell lymphomas and central nervous system lymphomas.
