Anaplastic large cell lymphomas with the 6p25.3 rearrangement are a heterogeneous group of tumours with a diverse molecular background.

ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cases with 6p25.3 rearrangement are characterized by peculiar morphological and immunohistochemical features compare to 6p25.3-negative ALK-negative ALCL cases.

High-throughput RNA sequencing transcriptome analysis of ABC-DLBCL reveals several tumor evasion strategies.

Activated B-cell (ABC) lymphoma, a distinct molecular entity within diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), remains highly incurable, showing a worse response to standard immunochemotherapy. The discouraging results obtained in several clinical trials using proteasome inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or immunomodulators, lead to an intense search for new, potentially druggable biomarkers in DLBCL. In this study, we designed an experimental strategy for DLBCL to discover high- and low-abundance RNA-seq-derived transcripts involved in the oncogenic phenotype in patients diagnosed with ABC-DLBCL.
