Özet

Purpose: Recent studies have shown that cytokines and autoantibodies that have an important role in pathogenesis of lymphoma can be used as prognostic markers. In this study, we aimed to determine the prognostic significance of a large panel of serum cytokines and compare them with a control group, and also to see for any relationship with known classical prognostic factors, the frequency of autoantibody positivity and autoimmune phenomena in patients with untreated non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL).
