[Immunophenotypes and prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a study of 500 cases].
To study the immunophenotype and overall survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) classified according to the 2008 World Health Organization classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. ⋯ By using Hans algorithm, GCB and non-GCB subtypes show no significant difference in overall survival. EBV-positive DLBCL of the elderly and DLBCL-NOS also do not have significant difference in overall survival. Fluorescence in situ hybridization technique is helpful in identification of DLBCL with rare phenotypes.
