Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT: The 2016 revision of the WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms includes new entities along with a clearer definition of provisional and definitive subtypes based on better understanding of the molecular drivers of lymphomas. These changes impact current treatment paradigms and provide a framework for future clinical trials. Additionally, this update recognizes several premalignant or predominantly indolent entities and underscores the importance of avoiding unnecessarily aggressive treatment in the latter subsets.Entities:
