Acquired clonal chromosomal abnormalities (CAs) are usually considered to be disease-related. However, when a CA of this type is the only abnormality present (and especially in small clones), the clinical significance is unclear. Here, we review the literature on recurrent CAs whose significance is regularly subject to debate.

Diagnosis can be challenging due to their overlapping clinical, histological and immunophenotypic features. Genetic data are not a routine component of the diagnostic algorithm for most MTNKNs.

The accurate diagnosis of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma relies on a multidisciplinary approach that integrates morphological, phenotypical and genetic characteristics together with clinical features. Cytogenetic analyses remain an essential part of the diagnostic workup for mature B-cell lymphomas.

Designed to yield programs that can be scaled up for dissemination, the studies address topics critical to systematic implementation including data harmonization, intervention costs, culturally responsive services, community engagement, working across the continuum of care, and bringing interventions to market. Ideally, interventions found to be effective will be considered for adoption by community stakeholders.
