Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) represent the two major subtypes of mature B cell lymphoma. A deeper understanding of tumor biology, as well as molecular classification characterized by targetable gene alterations, and the introduction of novel treatment options, including targeted drugs (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates and small molecules [e.g., Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor]) and immune therapies (e.g., chimeric antigen receptor [CAR] T cell therapy and bispecific antibody [BsAb]), has changed the treatment paradigms for DLBCL and FL. In clinical practice, however, treatment regimens are determined mainly based on prior treatment history, duration of response after previous treatment, patient age, and patient frailty because there have been few randomized trials to inform treatment selection for patients with relapsed or refractory disease and because there is no single prognostic index that guides suitable treatment for each patient. In this review, we summarize the treatment options for DLBCL and FL and discuss the treatment strategies for these two subtypes. We also discuss future perspectives for the treatment of these subtypes.
