Aggressive Lymphomas

Year: 2010

Type: review

Abstract: This review summarizes recent evidence concerning molecular changes in the commonest type of lymphoma, diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma. Detailed studies have revealed three subtypes, each with distinctive clinical and molecular features. The molecular dissection of these tumors is uncovering new possibilities for treatment, some of which are already in clinical trials.
