Mantle cell lymphoma historical perspective
Introduction
Overview
Overview
In 1982, Weisenburger first proposed the concept of mantle-zone lymphoma and in 1992, Banks first coined the term mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In 1994, MCL was included into the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms (REAL) classification, and later also in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues
