Lymphomas
This work for oncologists and cancer biologists provides eight chapters on the evolving role of established therapies as well as pathway-directed agents, within the context of the emerging paradigm of personalized lymphoma treatment. The disease specific chapters describe signaling pathways central to disease pathology, but also emphasize the biological heterogeneity of the entities currently recognized by the WHO Classification and stress the importance of this heterogeneity when considering treatment choices. The book examines new and emerging therapies for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, indolent lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
