Progressive transformation of germinal centers (PTGC) is a benign histopathological process, typically manifesting as persistent, painless lymphadenopathy. It is of clinical significance because of its ability to mimic or coexist with other lymphoproliferative disorders. This systematic review summarizes the currently available literature to outline the clinical, pathological, and diagnostic features of PTGC and to identify areas that require further investigations to guide future clinical practice.

B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...
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...
