Abstract:
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has a high degree of heterogeneity in clinical manifestations,pathological morphology and genetic features.According to its classification by WHO in 2008 WHO,DLBCL is defined as large B-cell lymphoma with diffuse growth and having nuclei similar with or larger than those of normal macrophages.In recent years,the clinical features,morphology,immunohistochemistry,and even gene expression pattern are integrated for classification of DLBCL.It's a new era to stratify DLBLC by gene expression profile.This article summarized research progress in DLBCL classification based on gene expression profile and immunohistochemistry and its effects on prognosis of DLBCL.
