DNA content and proliferation in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: Flow cytofluorometric DNA analysis in relation to the Kiel classification

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology ((DION,volume 32))

Abstract

The Rappaport classification is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) [1–3]. However, it has become increasingly inconsistent with the rapidly changing concepts of the functional diversity of the immune system. Attempts have, therefore, been made to incorporate immunologic concepts into the morphologic classification of NHL [4, 5]. The clinical applicability of these newer classifications as well as their capacity to identify biologically distinct tumor groups is currently under study.
