Over the next two decades,applications of monoclonal-antibody technology, molecular biology,and cytogenetics further revolutionized approaches to the diagnosis,classification, and treatment of malignant lymphomas and otherhematopoietic neoplasms. Although these advances have illuminatedour knowledge of the pathobiology of these tumors, they havealso resulted in an enormous and often confusing literaturepublished in . . .
