Immunohistochemical detection of MYC protein correlates with MYC gene status in aggressive B cell lymphomas
1 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: MYC gene translocation entails a bad prognosis and a poor response to rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) in diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), and more intensive chemotherapy regimens could be more effective in those cases. Its evaluation requires cytogenetic or fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) studies, which are expensive and not widely available. The...
