Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a form of hematological malignancy that affects B lymphocytes. This cancer is the most common type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for about one-third of all newly diagnosed cases. The disease occurs predominantly in older people, with a median age of diagnosis around 65 years, and has a slightly higher prevalence in men than in women. DLBCL is categorized as an aggressive form of NHL; after initial onset the cancer advances quickly and can be fatal if left untreated. However, prompt and suitable treatment can lead to cure in more than 50% of cases.
