This study aims to identify the prognostic significance of various proteins in Hodgkin's disease outcomes.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of 140 patients from 11 centers in Spain.
Utilized immunohistochemical methods with microwave-induced antigen retrieval for protein demonstration.
Employed Cox's multivariate analysis and logistic regression to evaluate survival and remission.
Loss of retinoblastoma protein expression and high Ki67 index are linked to lower overall survival.
LMP1-EBV expression is identified as a favorable prognostic marker.
Histopathological type, p53, bcl2, and CD15 expression do not significantly influence outcomes.
