Abstract

Non-Hodgkin a diverse group of malignancies, encompassing the common difuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to the rarer T-cell lymphomas. Chemoresistance is a major barrier to treatment and the mechanisms through which it occurs are incompletely understood [1]. Although eforts are made to target frequently dysregulated pathways in NHL subtypes, these diseases still evolve into aggressive forms resistant even to newer therapies [2].
