Prognostic MarkerEffect on OutcomeMechanism
*Table modified from Gascoyne41 (refer for full list of references), additional reference Torlakovic46  
Chromosomal gains +7, +12q13-14, +18q Unfavorable Dominant oncogenes 
Chromosomal losses Del6q, −9p21, −17p13 Unfavorable Loss tumor suppressor gene 
BCL-6 translocation Unfavorable Genomic instability 
Bcl-2 expression Unfavorable Anti-apoptotic 
Bcl-6 expression Favorable Germinal center phenotype 
CD10 expression Favorable Germinal center phenotype 
PU.1 Favorable Germinal center phenotype 
Macrophage content Unfavorable Modulation by microenvironment 
MDM2 expression Unfavorable Functional p53 loss 
Bcl-XL Unfavorable Anti-apoptotic 
Cyclin B1 Favorable Cell cycle progression 
Immune response (IR-1 versus IR-2) Variable Modulation by microenvironment 
81-gene predictor Variable Reflects tumor behavior
