A great deal of information has been collected about newly de­ scribed tumour entities and the behaviour and prognosis of the pre­ viously classified tumours. Immunohistochemistry, cytophotometry, hybridization techniques, tissue culture and chromosomal analysis have increased our understanding of many tumours.
