Serum Adiponectin As a Predictor of Childhood Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma: A Nationwide Case-Control Study

摘要

PurposeTo our knowledge, this is the first study exploring the association of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with serum adiponectin and leptin levels in a nationwide case-control series. In addition, expression of adiponectin receptors in NHL specimens was assessed, and the association between adipokines and childhood NHL survival and prognosis was examined.
