In this study, microarrays of stromal-cell RNA showed one signature that correlated with extracellular-matrix deposition and monocytic infiltration and another that reflected tumor blood-vessel density. Immune cells, fibrosis, and angiogenesis in the microenvironment strongly influence the behavior of these lymphomas.
