There was a significant correlation between percent LAG-3 staining and MC and/or LR histology versus NS (r = 0.555, P < .001) and between LAG-3 and positive EBV status (r = 0.31, P = .036).
ND indicates newly diagnosed; MC, mixed cellularity; NS, nodular sclerosing); RL, relapsed; Remission, long-term remission; NLP, nodular lymphocyte predominant; and LR, lymphocyte rich.
Percentage of non-HRS cells within HRS-rich areas that are positive for LAG-3; +++ indicates 74% to 50%; ++, 49% to 25%; +, 24% to 10%; -, less than 10%.
