conclusions a high rate of 25% and 24.13% of hbv dna was detected among patients with hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma, respectively. results three out of 12 (25%) hodgkin samples and seven out of 29 (24.13%) non-hodgkin showed positive hbv dna results. the results of sequencing revealed that the d genotype was predominant among the positive hbv patients. interestingly an unpredictable amino ac...

BACKGROUND Although chemo-immunotherapy has led to an improved overall survival for most B-cell lymphoma types, relapsed and refractory disease remains a challenge. The malaria drug artesunate has previously been identified as a growth suppressor in some cancer types and was tested as a new treatment option in B-cell lymphoma. METHODS We included artesunate in a cancer sensitivity drug screen...

primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a t-cell malignancy with atypical cd30 positive lymphocytes. pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia is an uncommon finding in primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and may mimic squamous cell carcinoma as pseudomalignancy. careful attention of a pathologist to correct diagnosis of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and its underlying cau...

B-cell lymphoma in children accounts for about 10% of all pediatric malignancies. Chemotherapy has been very successful leading to an over-all 5-year survival between 80 and 90% depending on lymphoma type and extent of disease. Therapeutic toxicity remains high calling for better targeted and thus less toxic therapies. Therapeutic antibodies have become a standard element of B-cell lymphoma the...

Gene-expression profiling in B-cell lymphomas has provided crucial data on specific lymphoma types, which can contribute to the identification of essential lymphoma survival genes and pathways. In this study, the gene-expression profiling data of all major B-cell lymphoma types were analyzed by unsupervised clustering. The transcriptome classification so obtained, was explored using gene set en...
