Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphoma is a group of neoplastic disease of lymphoid tissues, which can be classified into categories of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL). Prognosis lymphoma depends on the extent of disease(staging) especially in Hodgkin's
disease,
but also depends on the histologic make up in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a neoplastic transformation on lymphod cell it is a collection of disease with morphologically and immunologically diverse make up.
Consequently the
classification of NHL has changed frequently and evolved according to the progress of immunologic and molecular knowledge added to the original morphologic classification. Lymphoma is a disorder sensitiive to chemotherapy which often leads to
cure
of
the disease even in advanced stage, while many other patients die from the progression of desease. Therefore, better understanding in newer classification and sensitive imaging technique, such as PET, in lymphoma will likely lead to the
improvement
of
survival rate.
