Platelet - derived growth factor receptor - alpha (PDGFR-alpha) expression in the Hodgkin/Reed Sternberg cells of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease has been demonstrated in 2 studies. Additional receptor tyrosine kinases have also now been documented. This communication reports the correlative expression in nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease of activated ( phosphorylated) p70S6K, one of the putative downstream effectors common to receptor tyrosine kinase signaling.
