Research Article: Development and validation of novel models based on clonality immunoglobulin gene rearrangement for evaluation of bone marrow involvement and prognostic prediction in patients with diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma: a multicenter retrospective study
Abstract:
Introduction: Bone marrow involvement (BMI) is a poor prognostic factor in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and accurate evaluation of BMI is crucial for determining stages and prognosis. This study aimed to identify the most effective examinations for evaluating BMI in DLBCL, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT), immunoglobulin gene rearrangement (IGR), flow cytometry (FCM), bone marrow cytology (BMC) and bone marrow biopsy pathology (BMB), and to further explore its prognostic significance in DLBCL patients.
