Molecular Features of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Associated With Primary Treatment Resistance.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients that fail to achieve a complete metabolic response with frontline immunochemotherapy have a poor prognosis. Genomic profiling has led to a broader understanding of the molecular drivers in DLBCL, but it is unknown how well current classifiers identify patients that will experience primary treatment resistance (PTR). Using whole exome and RNA sequencing data from newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, we evaluated the genomic landscape of PTR and compared it to that of non-PTR DLBCL.

Characteristics and outcomes of incidentally diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and implications for cancer screening.

Differences in characteristics and outcomes between incidental and symptomatic presentations of Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

CODOX-M/IVAC-R DA-EPOCH-R in double hit/triple hit lymphoma patients aged 60 years or under.

Intensified chemoimmunotherapy regimens are often used in young patients with double hit and triple hit lymphoma (DHL/THL) despite no survival benefit compared to R-CHOP. Favorable retrospective reports on the application of CODOX-M/IVAC-R are subject to selection bias as only young fit patients can tolerate this treatment. We conducted a retrospective analysis to investigate outcome differences between CODOX-M/IVAC-R and DA-EPOCH-R in DHL/THL patients aged 60 years or younger.

Incidence of Central Nervous System Relapse in Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Implications for Central Nervous System Prophylaxis.

Background: Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is an uncommon type of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PMBCL shares some clinical and biologic features with nodular sclerosis classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Central nervous system (CNS) relapse is exceedingly rare in cHL.
