Clinico-pathologic correlation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. III. Biologic significance of a modified Lukes and Collins classification.

With a modified Lukes & Collins classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas applied retrospectively to a patient series the biologic and clinical implications of some microscopic features were analysed. It was found that, based on this classification, proliferation, dissemination and differentiation could be explained in a comprehensible way.
