High levels of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression are correlated with aggressiveness and poor outcomes in many malignancies. There were few studies of this correlation in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and have heterogeneity in clinical outcomes.

Objective: The aims of this study to evaluate the expression of GLUT1 in DLBCL and correlate the association between their expression with International Prognostic Index (IPI) risk groups and overall survival.
