Our comparative study concerning malignant lymphoma in Sarajevo Region according to W.H.O. Classification from 1997 in periods 1989-1991 (before the aggression) and 1997-1999 (after the aggression). We expected increased incidence as well as better patient’s survival after the war duo to better diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
The study included reclassification of all cases in period 1989-1991 and their immunohistochemical study. We compared results and determined distribution and relative frequency of each subtype. The prognostic indices and parameters are also included in our study.
