whether patients with diffuse large B_cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are likely to be_cured by chemotherapy,
*Researchers analyzed thousands of genes in lymphoma biopsy samples from patients with DLBCL and determined that the activity of as few as 17 genes could be_used to predict patients'response
DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in adults.
"For half of the patients with diffuse large B_cell lymphoma, conventional chemotherapy appears to be a reasonable option,
lymphoma cells have_activated this pathway,
"This research was_sponsored by NCI as part_of the Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project and the NCI Director's Challenge.
