Abstract
Purpose: Until now molecular biologic techniques have not been easily used in daily clinical practice to stratify patients for therapeutic purposes. Therefore, we have investigated the prognostic relevance of the immunohistochemical (IHC) germinal center B-cell (GCB) versus non-GCB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtypes. Patient; and Methods: We have analyzed tumor samples from patients treated in 2 prospective multicenter phase III trials, ie HOVON 25 (patients >= 65 years, n = 153) and HOVON 26 (patients
