PROGNOSIS FACTORS IN AGGRESSIVE NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMAS WITH PRIMARY INVOLVEMENT OF THE SPLEEN

Objective: The increased morbidity and DALY rates in the working-age population, commonly late diagnosis and unfavorable socio-economic impact of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) can be considered as key issues of hemato-oncology. Clinico-hematological patterns of primary NHL of the spleen indicate the n...
