Abstract:Objective
It has been documented that D-dimer levels have potential utility as a measure of tumor activity in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however whether it can be used as a predictive marker of treatment outcome has not been established. This study means to retrospectively evaluate the role of D-dimer in prediction of treatment efficacy in patients with DLBCL.
Materials and methods
151 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL were enrolled. Blood samples were taken from those patients during the initi… Show more
