Recent developments in the therapy of non-Hodgkin lymphoma have improved response and survival rates in patients with these conditions. This book is focused on the biology, prognostic factors and novel targets of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We believe that understanding the pathophysiology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma provides a mean to improve its risk-stratification and treatment. This book is intended for medical and healthcare professionals involved in the research and clinical care of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This book will be the first that focuses on solely on model organisms for lymphoma The editor Peter J. Quesenberry is internationally recognized in the field In-depth discussion of lymphoma models and their prognostic factors Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
