Abstract

This paper presents the most interesting, according to the author’s opinion, trial results presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in 2016. Many study results were presented, most of them important for diagnostics, treatment and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma and others.
