Conclusions

• Burkitt lymphoma has a distinct molecular profile that can reliably distinguish it from all forms of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

• Current means used for the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma disagree with the molecular diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma in 17% of cases.

• The distinction between Burkitt lymphoma and DLBCL is critical because of significant differences in treatment.

=>Molecular diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma will improve patient outcome.

Why Can Gene Expression ProfilingPredict Outcome in Cancer?

1. Heterogeneity in cell of origin.2. Heterogeneity in oncogenic pathways.3. Heterogeneity in common cellular

functions e.g. proliferation, survival,cell-cell interactions.

Within a current diagnostic category, gene expression profiling can identify:

This heterogeneity is present in the tumor at the time of diagnosis.
