Abstract

The cell proliferative activity of the clinico-pathologically heterogeneous non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) included in the intermediate grade F category of the Working Formulation (WF) was investigated. S-phase fraction with flow cytometry on cell suspensions, and Ki67 on frozen tissue sections were performed in 42 F NHL. An avidin-biotin immunocomplex method was used and 1000 cells from 10 representative fields were counted. DNA content, S-phase and Ki67 were also detected in 194 NHL covering the whole spectrum of the WF. DNA content anomalies were found in 52 of 194 NHL. Their incidence, like that of S-phase fraction and Ki67 positive cells, progressively increased from low- to high-grade. A linear correlation was found between Ki67 and S-phase (r = .59). Using the median value of proliferating cells obtained with both procedures as a cut off, two very different groups of lymphomas could be distinguished within a series of 42 F-intermediate NHL: with low and high proliferative cell activity (p < .0001) that were termed F(low) and F(high), respectively. A intermediate group was placed between them. It differed significantly from the others if Ki67 was used but only from the F(high) group if the S-phase fraction analysis was app...Continue Reading

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
