This volume is intended to present an eclectic selection of
informative reviews on aspects of the malignant lymphomas,
including Hodgkin's disease. The choice of suitable review topics
in this field is made hazardous by several facts. First, the growth
of insight into basic mechanisms of lymphomagenesis is explosive,
as is the expansion of our understanding of the need for precise
morphologic classification of these diseases. Second, new
therapeutic agents, cytotoxic and biologic, as well as new drug
delivery strategies, are appearing with remarkable frequency.
Finally, old "standard" approaches, such as the staging laparotomy
for Hodgkin's disease, are being reconsidered and deserve attention
in an up-to-date collection of papers. The 10 reviews presented
here fall generally into three categories. First, the optimal
diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to Hodgkin's disease are
considered by Mark Leibenhaut, who reviews the status of the
diagnostic staging laparotomy, and by Philip Bierman, who discusses
his thoughts on the timing of high-dose treatment with bone marrow
transplantation for this disease. There follow four reviews of
current management of specific histologic subtypes of malignant
lymphoma. First, Velasquez reviews prognostic factors in both
intermediate and high grade lymphomas. Miller and Dahlberg review
and update the Southwest Oncology Group experience in developing
curative cytotoxic combination therapies for diffuse large-cell
lymphomas. Lastly, optimal therapy for two kinds of high grade
lymphoma are presented. Butler and Hainsworth describe the
Vanderbilt experience with diffuse small noncleaved cell lymphoma
and Picozzi reviews lymphoblastic lymphoma.
