Nevertheless, despite R-CHOP chemotherapy being successful, a high percentage of patients relapsed early or were primary refractory, highlighting the urgent need for more accurate prognostic biomarkers (2,5).\n\nWith the emergence of new discoveries in cancer immunology, the focus has shifted to the tumour microenvironment (TME). The density and presence of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), especially CD3+ T cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, are key determinants of the anti-tumour immune response (6-8). Now tumours are classified by their immune 'hotness'. 'Hot' tumours, with high T-cell infiltration, are associated with a better prognosis, whereas 'cold' tumours, with immune exclusion or desertion, are associated with a poorer prognosis (9-10).\n\nOn the other hand, the Ki-67 proliferation index is still the gold standard marker to measure the growth fraction of neoplastic cells (11). However, the optimal scoring method is yet to be established (12-13). Prognostic information may be obtained by global scoring (i.e. the proliferation index averaged over the whole tumour) and hotspot scoring (i.e. the area of maximum proliferation) (14-15).\n\nIn aggressive lymphomas the hotspot index could be a better representation of the highly proliferative clones that drive clinical progression (16-17). The present study was done to assess the combined effect of immune infiltration (CD3\u002FCD8) and proliferation (Ki-67) to build a more accurate prognostic model for patients with DLBCL and other aggressive B-cell lymphomas treated",[23],"Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma and Aggressive B-cell Lymphomas","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-03",{"date":27,"type":28},"2026-09-04","ACTUAL",{"date":30,"type":19},"2026-10-01",{"date":32,"type":19},"2027-02-01",{"name":34,"class":35},"Sohag University","OTHER"]
