RESUMO
As the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by a huge degree of clinical and prognostic heterogeneity. Currently, there is an urgent need for highly specific and sensitive biomarkers to predict the therapeutic response of DLBCL and assess which patients can benefit from systemic chemotherapy to help develop more precise therapeutic regimens for DLBCL. Systems biology (holistic study of diseases) is more comprehensive in quantifying and identifying biomarkers, helps addressing major biological problems, and possesses high accuracy and sensitivity. In this article, we provide an overview of research advances in DLBCL prognostic biomarkers made using the multi-omics approach of genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics, metabonomics, radiomics, and the currently developing single-cell technologies.
