in the second-growth stands. In addition, because primary and second-growth northern hardwood stands often differ in overstory structure or composition (Goodburn and Lorimer 1999, Hale et al. 1999, McGee et al. 1999, Crow et al. 2002), we hypothesized (2) that %FC would be associated with differences in structural attributes between the two stand types.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) for early-stage nodal and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with stage I (n = 22) and stage II (n = 8) MZL, who were treated with RT were reviewed. The primary tumor localisation was in the orbita (n = 12), stomach (n = 8), head and neck other than the orbita (n = 8), breast (n = 1) and one case of mar...

Extra-nodal MZBCL of MALT type (7% of all NHL) is an indolent disease involving most often the stomach, where it usually follows chronic gastritis due to Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The disease may also localize in the lung, the thyroid, the salivary gland, the orbit. Splenic MZBCL (1% of all NHL on histologic samples) usually, though not invariably, presents splenomegaly associated cir...

The concept of marginal zone B-cell lymphomas was developed in the 1990s for lymphomas whose cells originate from B lymphocytes normally present in a distinct anatomical location, the so-called ‘marginal zone’ (MZ). MZ has been described in the lymphoid organs—spleen and lymph nodes—and in nonlymphoid organs—mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) or non-mucosal tissue such as skin, orbit and ...
