The aggressive activated B cell-like subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is characterized by aberrant B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and constitutive nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation, which is required for tumor cell survival. BCR-induced NF-κB activation requires caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 11 (CARD11), and CARD11 gain-of-function mutations are recurrently dete...

Interactions between the polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitor volasertib and the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) belinostat were examined in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells in vitro and in vivo. Exposure of DLBCL cells to very low concentrations of volasertib in combination with belinostat synergistically increased cell death (apoptosis). Similar ...

INTRODUCTION Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Although gender has not been included in prognostic systems, male gender has been found as a bad prognostic indicator in Hodgkin lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The relationship between gender and prognosis is not clear in patients with DLBCL treated with ...

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a biologically heterogeneous disease and the most common subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the USA. Even though it is a curable lymphoma in advanced stages, up to 40 % of patients eventually relapse or fail to achieve remission. Improved understanding of the biologic complexity of DLBCL reveals a diverse range of oncogenic driver mutations and ...

Primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with limited data. In this study, a population-based study of primary breast DLBCL in the United States was performed to determine its incidence trends, prognostic factors, survival, the role of surgery as well as the comparison with nodal DLBCL. 1021 patients diagnosed with breast DLBCL were identified in the...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) it the most common adult Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with an annual incidence of more than 25,000 cases in the United States. Although DLBCL has characteristic morphology, marked immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular heterogeneity underlies the variable clinical outcome of DLBCL patients. Consequently, it is expected that clinical surrogates, such as the i...

Various strategies have been implemented to improve the outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In recent years, remarkable advances have been achieved, based on the discovery of cell-of-origin in DLBCL and on more effective targeted agents. This commentary will summarize recent updates on the evolution of frontline therapies for DLBCL, focusing on the upcoming promising frontline ch...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develops from the B cells of the lymphatic system. The first symptom of DLBCL is usually painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, groin or abdomen. Patients may also experience fevers, night sweats and unexplained weight loss. Here, we reported a 73-year-old man with DLBCL. Specifically, init...

The 3q27 and 18q21 chromosomal translocations are major hallmarks in B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to determine the frequencies of these translocations in follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to evaluate their prognostic impact in the rituximab era. This study included 98 FL and 93 DLBCL patients whose abnormal karyotypes had been detected using G-banding. Patients...

The B-aggressive lymphoma-1 protein and ADP-ribosyltransferase BAL1/ARTD9 has been recently identified as a risk-related gene product in aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). BAL1 is constitutively expressed in a subset of high-risk DLBCLs with an active host inflammatory response and has been suggested to be associated with interferon-related gene expression. Here we identify BAL1 ...
