Clinical utility of real-time comprehensive molecular testing in large B-cell lymphoma.

Detailed molecular profiling of large B-cell lymphoma tumors provides actionable guidance for selecting between emerging advanced therapies like CAR-T cells.

This MD Anderson-based study evaluates the clinical utility of real-time comprehensive molecular testing in large B-cell lymphoma, demonstrating that cell-of-origin, genetic subgroup, and tumor microenvironment profiling provides actionable treatment selection information. The results support integration of comprehensive molecular panels into routine LBCL diagnostic workup, particularly for CAR-T and bispecific antibody treatment planning.
