Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) represent a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoid tumors, which have distinct histological and/or biological characteristics with preferential nodal involvement.

There has been a recent emergence of novel targeted agents for treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In particular, antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates directed against surface antigens, agents that block immune checkpoint pathways, and small molecule inhibitors directed against cell signaling pathways have shown significant promise in patients with relapsed and refractory disease ...

Lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissue which is divided into 2 groups: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin. About 85% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas are B-cell lymphomas, and T-cell lymphomas are unusual. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a kind of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with T or NK cell origin that is rarely seen in the oral cavity and only 10 cases have been reported up to now. Here we prese...
