Follicular Lymphoma Comprises Germinal Center–Like and Memory-Like Molecular Subtypes with Prognostic Significance

Progress in Molecular Classification of Follicular Lymphoma: A Dual Typing Predictive Model Based on RNA Sequencing and Immunohistochemistry Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by a slow clinical progression, with a median overall survival extending up to 20 years. However, the heterogeneous nature of FL leads to significa...

Revumenib Revises the Treatment Landscape for KMT2A-R Leukemia

Revumenib Alters the Treatment Landscape for KMT2A-Rearranged Leukemia Academic Background Leukemia is a malignant disease caused by abnormalities in the hematopoietic system, with KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemia being a common subtype, particularly in pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rearrangements of the KMT2A gene (lysine me...
