Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is driven by both antigen-dependent and antigen-independent cell-autonomous B-cell receptor (BcR) signaling. The latter has been documented in CLL cases in different disease subgroups and correlates with disease progression. Autonomous signaling is also relevant in monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis and other B-cell malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and splenic marginal zone lymphoma. This article examines its molecular basis, prognostic significance, and potential therapeutic relevance, highlighting the need for novel strategies to overcome resistance and improve outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Hematology/Oncology Clinics updates you on the latest trends in patient management, keeps you up to date on the newest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Under the direction of an experienced guest editor, each issue focuses on a single topic in hematology and oncology, including hemostasis and thrombosis, molecular and cellular basis of hematology, coagulation disorders, and cancers—bone, gastrointestinal, head and neck, lymphomas, neuroendocrine, breast, renal cell, melanoma, and more.
