Neuro-related gene signatures predict prognosis in diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma and uncover TRPV2-mediated tumor microenvironment regulation. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
Although the R-CHOP regimen has significantly improved the prognosis for most patients, a subset continues to experience poor therapeutic outcomes...The key gene TRPV2, associated with favorable prognosis, was found to promote M1-like polarization in monocytes/macrophages and enhance antigen presentation in B cells. This study establishes the NR risk score as a novel prognostic tool for DLBCL and underscores neuro-immune interactions as potential therapeutic targets.

Distribution and prognostic impact of LymphGen subtypes in Korean diffuse large B-cell lymphoma using clinical NGS panel. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
Kaplan-Meier analysis of R-CHOP-treated patients with DLBCL-NOS revealed that those with MCD, BN2, and A53 subtypes had poorer overall survival than those with EZB and ST2, particularly among patients with concurrent MYC/BCL2 DE. Using a clinically applicable NGS panel, we successfully implemented the LymphGen classification system. This study underscores the distinct genetic landscape of Korean DLBCL and highlights the utility of LymphGen in identifying high-risk subgroups, providing a basis for prognostic stratification and therapeutic optimization.

Clinical and Diagnostic Challenges in Primary Splenic Lymphomas: When is Splenectomy Necessary to Differentiate SMZL from DLBCL? (PubMed, Eur J Case Rep Intern Med)
Unexplained splenomegaly warrants consideration of primary splenic lymphoma in the differential diagnosis, even without lymphadenopathy or classic B symptoms, particularly when detected during abdominal imaging for hepatosplenic evaluation.Histopathologic and molecular confirmation is essential, as indolent subtypes (e.g. SMZL) and aggressive subtypes (e.g. DLBCL) may present identically but require fundamentally different treatment approaches.PET/CT-guided diagnostic strategy optimises outcomes by enabling accurate staging, identifying the most metabolically active site for biopsy, and informing the need for splenectomy versus direct systemic therapy.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Tuberculosis Coexisting in the Same Cervical Lymph Node: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient was managed sequentially with anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT) followed by R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) regimen, achieving complete remission at six months with 12-month disease-free follow-up. In patients undergoing lymph node biopsy for suspected tuberculosis, it is crucial to thoroughly assess for an underlying lymphoma. Detecting a malignancy in a cervical tuberculous lymph node significantly alters the therapeutic approach and requires coordinated management with medical oncology specialists.
