Clinical significance and prognosis of MYC translocation in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Recent studies have suggested that chromosomal aberrations of the MYC gene locus indicate an unfavorable prognosis in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, there have been few reports on MYC translocation in Chinese patients. One hundred and six cases of DLBCLs were analyzed using interpha...

Zusammenfassung:Recent studies have suggested that chromosomal aberrations of the MYC gene locus indicate an unfavorable prognosis in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, there have been few reports on MYC translocation in Chinese patients. One hundred and six cases of DLBCLs were analyzed using interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization. Immunophenotyping analysis (CD20, CD3, CD10, Bcl‐6, Mum‐1) was also performed. MYC translocation was identified in 13 (12.3%) out of 106 cases. All MYC+ DLBCLs showed a non‐germinal center B‐cell type. MYC+ DLBCLs showed significantly poorer overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival, with a median OS and progression‐free survival time of 4.7 and 3.2 months, respectively (p
