Özet

Objective: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is involved in the control of cellular proliferation. Tumor-associated macrophages promote lymphoma pathogenesis via affecting tumor cell growth and associated survival factors. We assessed ACE expression in the neoplastic lymph node microenvironment of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), particularly in macrophages and in nonneoplastic lymphoid tissue.
