Prognostic Significance of Bcl-2 Protein Expression and Bcl-2 Gene Rearrangement in Diffuse Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
1997-07-01
Abstract excerpt
The prognostic significance of Bcl-2 protein expression and bcl-2 gene rearrangement in diffuse large cell lymphomas (DLCL) is controversial. Bcl-2 protein expression prevents apoptosis and may have an important role in clinical drug resistance. The presence of a bcl-2 gene rearrangement in de novo DLCL suggests a possible follicle center cell origin and perhaps a distinct clinical behavior more akin to low-grade...
