Uma meta-análise contemporânea e estudos prospectivos confirmaram a associação positiva do índice de massa corporal com Linfoma Hodgkin (LH). No entanto, apesar de um aumento da evidência, o papel de adiposidade no microambiente do LH permanece por esclarecer. Sabemos que o excesso de adiposidade influencia o comportamento do tumor através de alguns mecanismos: 1) adipocinas, 2) migração de células estaminais derivadas de tecido adiposo, 3) regulação do metabolismo, e por 4) modulação da resposta imune ¹.

This breakthrough clinical trial is an example of international, academic, and multi-disciplinary leadership and achievement in breast cancer research. It is also a clear illustration of an integrated public, private and patient group collaboration.
