Tumor microenvironment and immune effects of antineoplastic therapy in lymphoproliferative syndromes. J Biomed Biotechnol. 2010; pii: 8468721110-7243http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1900Journal Article; Review;Lymphomas represent a wide group of heterogenic diseases with different biological and clinical behavior. The underlying microenvironment-specific composition seems to play an essential role in this scenario, harboring the ability to develop successful immune responses or, on the contrary, leading to immune evasion and even promotion of tumor growth. Depending on surrounding lymphoid infiltrates, lymphomas may have different prognosis. Moreover, recent evidences have emerged that confer a significant impact of main lymphoma's treatment over microenvironment, with clinical consequences. In this review, we summarize these concepts from a pathological and clinical perspective. Also, the state of the art of lymphoma's anti-idiotype vaccine development is revised, highlighting the situations where this strategy has proven to be successful and eventual clues to obtain better results in the future.enAntineoplásicosHumanosTrastornos linfoproliferativosMicroambiente tumoralAnimalesMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Chemical Actions and Uses::Pharmacologic Actions::Therapeutic Uses::Antineoplastic AgentsMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Hemic and Lymphatic Diseases::Lymphatic Diseases::Lymphoproliferative DisordersMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Cell Physiological Phenomena::Cellular Microenvironment::Tumor MicroenvironmentMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animalsreview article20814546open access10.1155/2010/8468721110-7251PMC2931385
