Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are a biologically and clinically diverse group of lymphoproliferative disorders. This learning program is designed to introduce you to indolent NHL. It will cover the pathology and classification of NHL in general, before addressing the epidemiology, diagnosis, and clinical management of the indolent types of NHL in more detail.
As you progress through the program, you will also follow the case of Tony Jobs, a 65-year-old carpenter suffering from indolent NHL.
Upon completion of this learning program, you will be able to::
Identify the common types of aggressive and indolent NHL.
Recall the epidemiology and etiology of indolent NHL.
