VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor), PDGF (Platelet derivated
growth factor), which are studied in many cancer types, are already
known prognostic angiogenic factors, while thrombospondin is a
prognostic antiangiogenic factor. Diffuse large B cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
has a poor prognosis in patients who do not respond to the first
treatment despite many treatment options. Angiogenic and anti-angiogenic
factors are important prognostic factors for DLBCL.
