Abstract excerpt
Characterization of the clonality of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) by the rearranged segments of immunoglobulin heavy chain (Ig(H)) or T cell receptor (TCR) genes is not only useful in the confirmation of the diagnosis but also for the future assessment of how a secondary lymphoma, such as a recurrence or another primary lymphoma, occurs. As a practical approach to obtaining and registering this information in a...
