Descrição

The World Health Organisation classification of mature T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, combines clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic data. The later majorly contributes for the classification, as well as to the understanding of the malignant T-cell behaviour. The fact that T-cell migration is regulated by chemokines should, in theory, enable us to identify tissue tropism and organ involvement by neoplastic Tcells, through monitoring of chemokine receptor surface expression.
