Abstract
This chapter describes the illness diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and why research has and continues to focus on creating accurate predictors of response to treatment to allow individual risk assessment for a patient and individualization of treatment choice to maximize the chances of cure. Microarray technology has the promise to bring these objectives within reach. The first papers attempting to identify molecular signatures of response and outcome using microarray technology were generated using DLBCL samples and are described. The different types of microarray platform and data analysis tools are reviewed followed by a detailed step-by-step guide to data generation using the Affymetrix chip system from RNA extraction to laser scanning of the hybridized and stained chips.
