Abstract:
The effective deployment of rationally developed therapies for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) requires rapid assimilation of new biological data. Within this framework, here we address topical issues at the intersection of DLBCL biology and the clinic. We discuss targeting of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, with emphasis on identifying patients who may benefit from this maneuver and how to best achieve it. We address strategies to modulate the DLBCL microenvironment, including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in selected DLBCL subsets, and the potential activity of alternative antiangiogenic therapies. Lastly, we highlight the emerging recognition of MYC and BCL2 coexpression as the most robust predictor of DLBCL outcome, and discuss rationally conceived experimental approaches to treat these high-risk patients.
