ABSTRACT
We aimed to assess HKII expression and its prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. The HKII protein level was determined by immunohistochemistry in 159 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, and its relationship with overall response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. HKII was expressed in 95 DLBCL patients (59.7%). HKII-positive patients had poorer outcomes than negative patients for 5-y PFS (68% vs. 84%, p = 0.029) and 5-y OS (78% vs. 94%, p = 0.05). When only patients without no bulky disease, B symptoms, or extranodal involvement who had low IPI scores were considered, those with positive HKII had worse 5y-PFS and 5y-OS (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that HKII status was an independent prognostic factor of OS. In subgroup analysis, HKII expression was associated with inferior OS in the CHOP group (p = 0.017). In CHOP group patients without bulky disease or extranodal involvement who had low LDH and low IPI scores (p < 0.05), positive HKII was associated with worse PFS and OS. No differences in PFS and OS, or any independent prognostic factors, were found in the RCHOP group. In DLBCL, HKII is valuable as a prognostic biomarker and may be useful as a tool for assessing disease risk.
