Other researchers have reported that expressions of CMYC and Th2-cell transcription factor GATA3 were frequently found in 128 nodal PTCL patients with AITL, PTCL-NOS and sALCL, and CMYC+ tumour cells indicated significantly poor prognosis in the above three types of PTCL and in only AITL (all p < 0.01) [12]. This evidence concerns the gene MYC and neoplasm.
