Abstract:
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by a wide range of clinical manifestations and complications, including B-cell lymphoma. This study aims to describe the predictors associated with lymphomagenesis in patients with Sjögren's syndrome, emphasising the pathophysiological bases that support this association. We performed a review of the literature published through a comprehensive search strategy in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of science. Forty publications describing a total of 45,208 patients with SS were retrieved. The predictors were grouped according to their pathophysiological role in the lymphoproliferation process. Also, some new biomarkers such as MicroRNAs, P2X7 receptor-NLRP3 inflammasome, Thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and Three-prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1) were identified. The knowledge of the pathophysiology allows the discrimination of markers that participate in the initial stages. Considering that the lymphoproliferation process includes the progression of lymphoma towards more aggressive subtypes, it is essential to recognise biomarkers associated with a worse prognosis.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
