Abstract
The term non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) covers a spectrum of malignant disorders arising from cells of the immune system and manifesting predominantly as lymphadenopathy or solid tumour. The classification of NHL is complex and ever-evolving, with more than 50 different subtypes listed in the latest WHO classification of lymphoma (1). In this clinical
update, we address the distinction between low-grade (indolent) and high-grade lymphoma, and discuss the principles of diagnosis and management that are of particular relevance to the non-specialist physician who may encounter patients with NHL during their initial presentation, during therapy and during periods of follow-up.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
