EGR1 as a potential marker of prognosis in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma

Abstract Extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis. In the present study, gene expression profiling was performed to provide more information on ENKTL molecular signature and offer a rationale for further investigation of prognostic markers...
