World Health Organization Classification of Tumours: Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid tissues. In 1982 With the advancement of immunology and genetics, the characterization and algorithm of lymphomas have been taken over by the World Health Organization (WHO) Lymphoma Classification. New knowledge of disease molecular pathology, cytogenetic, epigenetic and genomic alterations have provided new strategies to attack and eradicate tumor cells at molecular level and significantly impacted our current therapeutics for hematological malignancies.
