Second evaluations of biopsy sample?

[Guest guest]

So how necessary is a second evaluation of the tissue sample?

No single study provides THE answer, but here's one report on this question:

Lymphoma in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network

From this report see table showing findings by subtype:
