Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory condition and is considered a potential risk factor for the development of hematologic malignancies, particularly in the context of immunosuppressive therapy and T-cell dysfunction. B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas are neoplasms of the lymphatic system with variable clinical manifestations, most commonly presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy. Primary localization in the soft tissues of the head, with bone invasion, is rare.
Scrutinizing prognostic scores' effectiveness in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with primary lymph node involvement
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) encompasses a diverse group of malignancies arising from malignant proliferation of lymphocytes, each subtype characterized by unique epidemiological, etiological, and clinical features. Prognostication is essential for guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. Prognostic scores, including traditional and molecular systems, offe insights into survival prediction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the applicability of traditional prognostic scores barsed on clinical markers and laboratory biomarkers in predicting the outcomes of patients with primary nodal NHL.
