Abstract


Background and objectives: In our study, we aimed to investigate the expression of vitamin D receptor and the relationship between clinical features, prognostic indicators, and expression of vitamin D receptor in Hodgkin lymphoma. Materials and Methods: Pathology records and medical files of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma were evaluated. Forty-two tissue samples were analyzed retrospectively. Vitamin D receptor staining was performed with immunohistochemistry. The patients were divided into low, medium, and intense staining subgroups. The demographic data, clinical and biochemical values of patients were reviewed retrospectively, and the relationship between clinical features, prognostic indicators, and vitamin D receptor expressions were examined. Results: VDR staining was positive in Reed-Sternberg cells of all Hodgkin lymphoma patients. The cases were divided into three groups according to VDR staining intensity as low, medium and intense staining and compared with known clinical prognostic parameters. Only the presence of symptom B was statistically significantly different. Gender, bone marrow involvement, extralymphatic involvement, mediastinal mass, bulky mass, mean leukocyte count, and treatment response were associated with vitamin D receptor staining intensity, but they were statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Our study is the second study showing VDR in tumor Hodgkin lymphoma tumor tissues and is meant to be the first to evaluate its association with clinical and biochemical prognostic laboratory tests. Vitamin D receptor staining in all Hodgkin lymphoma patients led to the conclusion that VDR can be used in the histopathological differential diagnosis of HL. More studies are needed to assess and demonstrate the relationship between prognostic and diagnostic indicators and vitamin D receptor intensity of immunohistochemically detected VDR in tumor tissues of Hodgkin lymphoma. Also, further studies with serum vitamin D levels and other histologic subtypes can provide more reliable results.
