Abstract

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous malignant lymphoproliferative disease. In the era of personalized medicine, genetic information is critical to early diagnosis, aiding risk stratification, directing therapeutic option, and monitoring disease relapse. However, lacking a circulating disease with most DLBCL cases hampers the acquisition of tumor genomic landscapes and disease dynamics. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a novel noninvasive, real-time, and tumor-specific biomarker, reliably reflecting the comprehensive tumor genetic profiles, thus holds great promise in individualized medicine, including precise diagnosis and prognosis, response monitoring, and relapse detection of DLBCL. Here, we reviewed the recent advances of ctDNA in DLBCL and discussed its clinical values at different time points during the disease courses by comparing with the current routine methods in clinical practice. Collectively, we anticipated that ctDNA will ultimately be integrated into the management of DLBCL to facilitate precision medicine.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
