During our presentation we will introduce summaries of some phases of these investigations not only because they illuminate hitherto obscure facets of the lymphomas, but also because they have relevance to other malignant neoplastic diseases and increase our understanding of biologic phenomena in normal cells as well.To set the stage for certain issues to be highlighted, I would like to offer a kaleidoscopic review of the natural history of the malignant lymphomas.
