The reports on granulocytic leukemia and on lymphocytic leukemia have been published,1, 2 and a report on Hodgkin's disease is in preparation.The specific purposes of the present study on lymphosarcoma are the same as those stated in previous reports: (1) to analyze statistics relative to age at onset, sex, duration of illness and mortality of patients with lymphosarcoma; (2)...Bibliography1.
