The evaluation of the mTOR activity stainings of lymphoma subtypes showed high mTOR activity in the majority (>50%) of mantle cell lymphoma (11/11), Burkitt-lymphoma (6/6), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (5/9), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (8/9) and Hodgkin-lymphoma cases (23/23). Here, MTOR is linked to anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
