Serum Albumin as Prognostic Factor for Overall Survival in Rearranged MYC and BCL2/BCL6 Positive Double Hit Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphomas
Double hit lymphomas (DHL) [rearranged c-MYC and BCL2/BCL6 by FISH analysis in diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL)] represent a subset of DLBCL with poor overall survival (OS). Several prognostic scores have been tested to clinically stratify these patients with the double hit score (DHS) being the most recently developed model (Petrich 2014). We explored the role of serum albumin (SA) in the prognosis of DHL as previously shown in DLBCL (Dalia 2013).
