Abstract
The text brings the Croatian consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma. It is emphasized that immunological, genetic and scintigraphic methods have changed the classification and diagnosis of lymphoma, while the use of monoclonal antibodies has improved the prognosis of patients with B-cell lymphomas. The recommendations emphasize the need for cooperation between hematologists, pathologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and oncologists-radiotherapists for rational processing, treatment and monitoring of patients.
