Introduction

 Research aim of our department is to clarify the pathology and pathogenesis of malignant lymphoma. The research activities of our department cover a broad range of topics in malignant lymphoma, especially EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and cytotoxic T/NK-cell lymphoma.

Research Projects

1. Clinicopathological analysis of EBV-positive lymphomas
2. Clinicopathological analysis of mature T/NK-cell lymphoma
