Description
We investigated the biological features of FL and their relationship to patients outcome. Gene expression analysis was carried out on diagnosis biopsies from 148 follicular lymphoma patients enrolled in the PRIMA clinical trial. We developed a gene expression-based predictor of progression-free survival (PFS) in high-tumour burden FL patients and we analysed gene-expression signatures reflecting different aspects of tumour biology for their association with outcome. proposition SH: We investigated the biological features of FL and their relationship to patients outcome.
