Abstract:
There are some major changes win the revised 2016 WHO Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms.Based on the clinicopathological changes and genetic/molecular findings in the past years,the new classification clarified the diagnosis and clinical management of some very early stages of lymphoproliferative disorders,refined the diagnostic criteria for some lymphoid neoplasms,and further emphasized the significance of genetic/molecular studies in the diagnosis and clinical treatment of lymphomas.A small number of new provisional entities were added to the 2016 edition.
