The Working Formulation is a classification of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, first proposed in 1982. [1] It has become outdated in light of modern shifts in the understanding and classification of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, leading to the rise of new systems such as the Revised American European Lymphoma classification. [2] The Working Formulation is still in use, although it is usually applied when analyzing historical data. [3]
