Prognostic analysis in Mychigh germinal-center-B-cell-like (GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and in MychighBcl-2high DLBCL patients. (a and b) Among MYC-non-rearranged (MYC-R) Mychigh GCB-DLBCL patients, those with Bcl-2 overexpression had significantly worse overall survival and progression-free survival compared with those who did not have Bcl-2 overexpression. (c and d) Among patients with MYC-R+/Mychigh GCB-DLBCL, those with Bcl-2 overexpression had significantly poorer progression-free survival compared with those who did not have Bcl-2 overexpression. The P-value for overall survival was not significant. (e and f) Among patients with MychighBcl-2high GCB-DLBCL, those with MYC rearrangement had poorer overall and progression-free survival compared with those without MYC rearrangement did, but these differences were not statistically significant. (g and h) Among MychighBcl-2high DLBCL patients, GCB-DLBCL patients with MYC rearrangement had significantly poorer overall and progression-free survival than MychighBcl-2high patients without MYC rearrangement did. ABC, activated-B-cell-like; Bcl-2high, high Bcl-2 protein expression; Bcl-2low, low Bcl-2 protein expression; GCB, germinal-center-B-cell-like; Mychigh, high Myc protein expression; MYC-R+, MYC rearrangement-positive; MYC-R, MYC rearrangement-negative.
