Background and aim: EBV is an important virus in the pathogenesis of NHL. VEGF-A is the essential factor in tumor angiogenesis. There is evidence of cross talk between angiogenesis and viral carcinogenesis. The viral latent protein LMP1, may play a role by inducing expression of angiogenic factors I
## Abstract Expression of Kiβ67, a nuclear antigen protein present in all cycling cells, is used to determine the growth fraction of tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role and prognostic significance of the Kiβ67 proliferation index (PI) in nonβHodgkin's lymphoma. Kiβ67 was assayed
DNA analysis by flow cytometry was performed on lymph node cells obtained from 65 untreated patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. According to the Kiel classification 41 cases were of low grade malignancy and 24 cases belonged to the high grade malignancy group. 47 out of 61 evaluable cases were dip
