Search This Site:   You can     for a word or phrase contained in this tutorial.

If You Have Lymphoma:   This site may be able to provide you with useful information. It is, however, primarily oriented to teaching medical professionals and interested lay people about the biology and diagnosis of lymphoma. Other sites are more geared toward telling people with lymphoma about the treatment and other aspects of their disease. A list of some medical books about lymphoma can be found on this web site.

Rotating Hemepath Tips:   These tips are visible right beneath the title of this page only on some 4.0 browsers with Javascript. Want to appear on this page yourself? Email your hemepath tips in, and they will be included with your name at the end. Keep them brief!

Big Quiz:   You can take a short-answer quiz about the contents of this tutorial. This quiz is a bit of a work-in-progress, with more and changing questions as time passes, as it tends to.

Little Quiz:   You can take mini-quiz consisting of small snap-shots of neoplastic cells for you to identify. (For this to work, your browser must be Java-capable--most of them are.)

Other Sources of Information:   Many other sites devoted to hematopathology and general pathology beckon the intrepid voyager. A list of some books about hematopathology can be found on this web site.

Relaxation and Recovery:   You're only allowed relaxation and recovery if you've already spend at least half an hour wrestling with lymphoma classifications, immunophenotyping, or other concepts in hematopathology

Web-Building:   A small handful of links to other web sites helpful in the construction of your web site (sort of the start of an infinite regress).

Feedback:   If you visited the tutorial with an eye to learning something (actually, for any reason whatsoever) and you would like to comment on its contents (too brief, politically incorrect, insanely great, etc.), please visit the feedback form. Alternatively you can send the sole proprietor of this site email.

  If your system can only show 256 colors (8-bit color), a fair number of the photomicrographs will show some degradation. If possible, for best results set your monitor so that it can display High Color (16-bit color) or higher. Systems with at least 1 megabyte of video memory should be able to view High Color at an 800x600 resolution. The value of the text, of course, is independent of your monitor's ability to display colors. Also: this page is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, alas.
