Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and heterogenous group of diseases and the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the past decade, there has been an explosion in molecular profiling that has helped to identify subgroups and shared oncogenic driving mechanisms. Since the 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) classification, additional studies investigating these genomic abnormalities and phenotypic findings have been reported. Here we review these findings in DLBCL and address the proposed changes by the 2022 International Consensus Classification.

Keywords: Classification; Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Genomics; Molecular; Update.
