Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are a well-known complication of solid organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The diffuse large B-cell lymphoma subtype (PT-DLBCL) is the most frequent monomorphic PTLD and is associated with poor prognosis. Transplant recipients have an increased risk of abnormal proliferation of lymphoid cells because of diminished immune surveillance. In about 60% of the cases, Epstein–Barr virus infection seems to contribute to the cancer phenotype. Although clinical and research interest in the disorder has increased during the last two decades, the pathology of the disease remains largely elusive. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of PT-DLBCL pathogenesis, and we discuss how a better understanding of PT-DLBCL can lead to improved diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
HemaSphere, as a publication, is dedicated to disseminating the outcomes of profoundly pertinent basic, translational, and clinical research endeavors within the field of hematology. The journal actively seeks robust studies that unveil novel discoveries with significant ramifications for hematology.
In addition to original research, HemaSphere features review articles and guideline articles that furnish lucid synopses and discussions of emerging developments, along with recommendations for patient care.
Positioned as the foremost resource in hematology, HemaSphere augments its offerings with specialized sections like HemaTopics and HemaPolicy. These segments engender insightful dialogues covering a spectrum of hematology-related topics, including digestible summaries of pivotal articles, updates on new therapies, deliberations on European policy matters, and other noteworthy news items within the field. Steering the course of HemaSphere are Editor in Chief Jan Cools and Deputy Editor in Chief Claire Harrison, alongside the guidance of an esteemed Editorial Board comprising international luminaries in both research and clinical realms, each representing diverse areas of hematologic expertise.
