Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a cancer of B cells, a type of lymphocyte that is responsible for producing antibodies.It is the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma among adults, [1] with an annual incidence of 7–8 cases per 100,000 people per year in the US and UK.
Chronic signaling through the B-cell receptor appears to contribute to the survival of DLBCL. These survival signals can be blocked by Syk inhibitors. However, since the BCR signaling pathway is not as important to the GCB DLBCL as it is to the ABC subtype, Syk inhibitors may not be effective against GCB DLBCL [6]
Epstein–Barr virus positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+ DLBCL, NOS) is a form of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) accounting for around 10-15% of DLBCL cases. DLBCL are lymphomas in which B-cell lymphocytes proliferate excessively, invade multiple tissues, and often causes life-threatening tissue damage.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), also termed primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (DLBCL-CNS), [2] is a primary intracranial tumor appearing mostly in patients with severe immunodeficiency (typically patients with AIDS). It is a subtype and one of the most aggressive of the diffuse large B-cell ...
Aggressive lymphoma, also known as high-grade lymphoma, is a group of fast growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [1]There are several subtypes of aggressive lymphoma. These include AIDS-associated lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

A review of 105 PEL cases reported median survival times, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of 4.8 months, 30%, 18%, and 17%, respectively. In this study, patients with advanced Ann Arbor Stage III or IV disease had a particularly poor survival rate at 1 year of 25%; this compared to a rate of 42% for patients with stage I or II disease ...
Prosecutors say that minutes before the death of Payne, one-fifth of the famed British boy band, hotel workers "called the 911 emergency line to ask for help for a guest who was under the ...
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma type, Hodgkin's lymphoma type Prognosis Poor, though it depends on the type of the leukemia or lymphoma that was initially present and the one it turns into, as well as the genetic mutations and translocations and deletions of the tumor, the person's sex, age, and comorbidities, the results of blood tests, the ...
