Histological Characteristics Of Hepatitis C-Associated B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. Results Of The French Lympho-C ANRS HC-13 Multicentric Study Of 133 Patients
Abstract:Introduction
HCV infection is associated with the development of B-cell non Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), preferentially of marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) subtypes. Other subtypes of B-cell NHL are rare. HCV-related lymphomagenesis may constitute in some cases a model of lymphoma induced by chronic antigenic stimulation. Moreover, a direct role of an infection of B cells by HCV is also an alternative hypothesis. We performed a multicentric observational st… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
