Organization of lymphoma pages
Since lymphoma is a complex topic with several subtypes, I thought it would be difficult to discuss all subtypes in a single section on, say, "high grade lymphomas." Also, it would be redundant to include background information and treatment information for each of the subtypes on their own pages since treatment for many lymphoma types is essentiall the same.

I decided to split up the pages as follows: an "overview" section that is split up into different pages for each unique subtype. These overview pages would discuss epidemiology, etiology, survival, prognostic factors, etc.

There would also be a "treatment" section that discusses lymphoma treatment. I think it makes most sense to divide this up into treatment for high grade and low grade lymphomas, since in practice, that's how treatment is decided. &mdash; Brim 20:10, 21 August 2005 (UTC)


 * In general I agree, but I think for some of the more specific/rare subtypes, it makes sense to keep all the disease-specific treatment info on the disease-specific page (e.g. MALT) Tdvorak 05:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
