The International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms: a report from the Clinical Advisory Committee

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Since the publication of the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms in 1994, subsequent updates of the classification of lymphoid neoplasms have been generated through iterative international efforts to achieve broad consensus among hematopathologists, geneticists, molecular scientists, and clinicians. These changes will have an impact on optimal clinical management.

🔑 Key Findings

• Significant progress has recently been made in the characterization of malignancies of the immune system, with many new insights provided by genomic studies.
• They have led to this proposal.
• We have followed the same process that was successfully used for the third and fourth editions of the World Health Organization Classification of Hematologic Neoplasms.
