Lymphoma is an often fatal cancer. To improve the cure rate in this disease we need to know its biology. Our proposal to study the miR-155 gene in lymphomas will improve our grasp on the mechanisms for this tumor development and open avenues for the implementation of novel more effective and less toxic treatments.
