BASIC SCIENCE QUESTIONS

Should patients with lymphoproliferative disorders avoid Alcohol since LMRP positivity suggests COOH  involvement?
Can pain at lymph nodes in Hodgkin disease after ingestion OF ALCOHOL or pruritus predict the presence of LMRP mutation?
Is the pruritus in Hodgkin disease linked to the presence of COOH at the nerve terminal?
Should we treat lymphoproliferative disorders with LRMP expression with Cisplatin etoposide based therapy?

Interleukin-4 is the best protective Interleukin of all, I wonder if we should be measuring it as a prognosis factor in  Lymphoproliferative disorders? Is overexpression of HGAL or GCET2 a corollary indication of IL-4 activity?
