title: [Clinical study of P-gp, and bcl-2 protein expression in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the relationship between the expression of P-gp, P26-bcl-2 and the prognosis in intermediate and high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty cases of intermediate and high grade NHL were retrospectively reviewed using immunohistochemical method. All patients were received CHOP chemotherapy over 4 courses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  P-gp was identified in 15 and P26-bcl-2 in 25 cases. The 3-year survival rates for patients with P26-bcl-2 (+) and P26-bcl-2 (-) were 37.64% and 76.80%, respectively (P < 0.005), and for patients with both positive P-gp and P26-bcl-2 and both negative were 15.38% and 48.48%, respectively (P = 0.038).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is direct relationship between the P-gp, P26-bcl-2 protein expression and the prognosis in intermediate and high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
