Is it possible to reverse the adverse outcomes
of ABC DLBCL?
• The nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB)
pathway is constitutively
activated in ABC DLBCL
1
• The proteasome inhibitor
bortezomib is a potent inhibitor
of NF-
ĸB
2
; may therefore have
specific utility in non-GCB
DLBCL and overcoming the
negative prognosis associated
with non-GCB phenotype
