Stats
"SOX11 is interesting. It's a molecule where its absence is associated with a particular form of mantle cell lymphoma."
"SOX11 was an important marker to allow everyday pathologists the ability to diagnose that."
"Ki-67 is the best marker of proliferation that we have."
Quotes
"Many forms of mantle cell lymphoma are really incurable. We're still searching all these years later for better therapies."
"Ki-67 index is a good prognostic marker in mantle cell lymphoma."
