Overview
In 1864 and 1865, Virchow and Cohnheim independently described non-Hodgkin lymphoma and called it lymphosarcoma and psedoleukemia respectively. Since then, tremendous efforts of many scientifics have been continuing to provide more precise and comprehensive with pathology, staging, and treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Discovery
- In 1864, Virchow , a German physician , described lymph node enlargement not related to leukemia as lymphosarcoma a subdivision of aleukimic type of leukemias.
- In 1865, Cohnheim, a German-Jewish physician , used the term pseudolukemia to describe all common lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.
- In 1871, Bilroth, a Prussian-born Austrian surgeon, was the first to described a case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and coined the term malignant lymphoma.[1]
- In 1958, Denis Parsons Burkitt, an Irish surgeon, first discovered Burkitt's lymphoma while working in Africa.[2]
- In 1925, follicular lymphoma was described by Brill and Symmers independently.[3]
- In 1956, Henry Rappaport and his colleagues proposed the Rappaport classification, based on cellular morphology, this became the first widely accepted classification of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
- In 1966, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) modified the the Rappaport classification in the"Tumors of the Hematopoietic System".[4]
- In 1982, National Cancer Institute introduced the working formulation, an amalgamation translating all previous classifications, which defined three grades of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[5]
- In 1992, Banks first coined the term mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).[6]
- In 1994, the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms (REAL) classified non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, based on immunologic, genetic and clinical characteristics of the disorders in addition to histopathologic characteristics of the tumor cells.[7]
- Since 2008 the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been starting a project with committees of international hematopathologists and oncologists, who have developed lists and definitions of disease entities to ensure that the classification will be helpful to clinicians. They proposed their first approach in 2008 and after that, the relevant Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) updates its latest revision every few years. [8][9]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1997, FDA approved rituximab, to treat patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that did not responds to other treatments.[10]
