Abstract

Few studies have evaluated the impact of organ-specific tumor microenvironments (TMEs) on clinical outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study investigated potential molecular markers, the immune cell composition within the TME, and their associations with clinical outcomes in patients with primary intestinal DLBCL (PI-DLBCL). We initially analyzed RNA expression in tumor cells f…
