Malignant Lymphomas: Biology and Treatment - An Update

In the last few years a good deal of information related to the biology and treatment of malignant lymphomas has been accumulated and published in journals and monographs. There is, however, no book that gives a concise and objective update of this information or presents a general survey of the subject. The contributors to this book are international authorities, and on the basis of their personal experience and data from the literature they have written a high-level update on malignant lymphomas which will be of interest to both specialists and nonspecialists.
