Prognostic models for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma are imperfect and do not allow a precise individualized therapy. A recent gene-expression profiling study, translated into a routine immunohistological test, identified genes of tumor-associated macrophages as being responsible for treatment outcome in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. If this finding is confirmed by other investigators, it could be a major step towards personalized therapy for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.
霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的预后模型并不完善,无法进行精确的个体化治疗。最近的一项基因表达谱研究转化为常规免疫组织化学检测,发现肿瘤相关巨噬细胞的基因与霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的治疗结果有关。如果这一发现得到其他研究人员的证实,这将是迈向霍奇金淋巴瘤患者个体化治疗的重要一步。
