Abstract

Diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non‑Hodgkin lymphoma. BCL2 apoptosis regulator (BCL2) and marker of proliferation Ki‑67 (Ki‑67) are established prognostic markers, which have traditionally been assessed separately in DLBCL. However, no studies have evaluated the prognostic value of the combination of BCL2 and Ki‑67 index. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the prognostic value of combination of these two markers. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to assess the expression of BCL2 and Ki‑67 in 274 cases of DLBCL. The BCL2/Ki‑67 index demonstrated a significant association with decreased overall and progression free survival of patients with DLBCL, particularly for the germinal center B‑cell‑like subtype of DLBCL. Following multivariate analysis, the BCL2/Ki‑67 index retained prognostic significance. Patients with coexpression of BCL2 and Ki‑67 constituted a unique group with poor survival, thus novel therapies targeting BCL2 protein and high proliferative activity may improve the outcome of these patients.
