[Recent advances in the treatment of DLBCL].

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for approximately 40% of all malignant lymphomas, making it the most common subtype. Molecular genetic studies have elucidated the pathogenesis of DLBCL and the causes of its poor prognosis. This basic research has led to the development of novel molecularly targeted therapies that target molecules and cellular antigens in relevant signaling pathways or epigenetic enzymes. Treatment with polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone has become the standard of care for newly diagnosed CD20-positive DLBCL with an International Prognostic Index score of 2 to 5, based on its reported efficacy for this indication. In addition, the development of immunotherapy such as anti-CD19-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy and bispecific antibodies such as epcoritamab, mosunetuzumab, and glofitamab has led to a paradigm shift in treatment of relapsed/refractory DLBCL. This review summarizes the evolution of treatment development for DLBCL, as well as the results of the current clinical standard of care and new therapies that are expected to become the standard of care.
