1) Knowing the role of the Haematopathologis within a modern integrated multidisciplinary diagnostic approach, enhancing the aspects related to both traditional histopathological examination and the application of the most recent ancillary diagnostic techniques, including immunomolecular tests. 2) Knowing the principles of classification of lymphoprolipherartive disorders, their histogeneis and moleculara bases. 3) To be able to understand the anatomical-pathological reports, integrating them with the clinical, laboratory and radiological data, and to extrapolate the diagnostic and prognostic-predictive information useful for the most appropriate therapeutic choices.
