Can histologic transformation of follicular lymphoma be predicted and prevented?
Transformation to aggressive lymphoma is a critical event in the clinical course of follicular lymphoma (FL) patients. Yet, it is a challenge to reliably predict transformation at the time of diagnosis. Understanding the risk of transformation would be useful for guiding and monitoring patients, as well as for evaluating novel treatment strategies that could potentially prevent transformation. ...
متن کاملp53 mutations are associated with histologic transformation of follicular lymphoma.
The majority of low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) undergo clinical progression toward intermediate- and high-grade lymphomas. This progression is often associated with histologic transformation from follicular to diffuse-type NHL. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this evolution are presently unknown. In this study, we have analyzed the role in NHL progression of relevant genetic les...
متن کاملAutologous bone marrow transplantation in follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma before and after histologic transformation.
Patients with disseminated follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are only occasionally cured with standard chemotherapy regimens. Although most of these tumors are initially responsive to chemotherapy, in 40% to 70% of patients the lymphoma will eventually transform to an NHL of higher grade malignancy and a poorer prognosis. We treated 18 patients having an original diagnosis of follicular N...
متن کاملA pluripotency signature predicts histologic transformation and influences survival in follicular lymphoma patients.
Histologic transformation (HT) of follicular lymphoma to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-t) is associated with accelerated disease course and drastically worse outcome, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that a network of gene transcriptional modules underlies HT. Central to the network hierarchy is a signature strikingly enriched for pluripotency-related genes. T...
