BCL2 expression of 332 patients (221 patients for the training set and 111 patients for the validation set) with newly diagnosed DLBCL who received R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) were analyzed using the tumor-specific automated quantitative analysis (AQUA) scoring method based on multiplex immunofluorescence. The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is neoplasm.
