B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: prognostic value of the immunophenotype and the clinico-haematological features.

abstract：DISEASE OVERVIEW:Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon B-cell lymphoid malignancy affecting 9,000 new patients annually and representing approximately 11% of all lymphomas in the United States. DIAGNOSIS:HL is composed of two distinct disease entities; the more commonly diagnosed classical HL and the rare nodular lymph...
