What is Lymphoma

Lymphoma is a group of blood cancers arising from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential to the immune system. It is broadly categorized into Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), distinguished by Reed-Sternberg cells, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which encompasses various B-cell, T-cell, and NK-cell malignancies. The development of lymphoma involves genetic mutations, chromosomal translocations, and dysregulation of cellular pathways that control lymphocyte growth and survival. Risk factors include immunosuppression, certain viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr virus), autoimmune diseases, family history, and environmental exposures. These changes lead to uncontrolled proliferation of malignant lymphoid cells, which can affect lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, or extranodal tissues, ultimately impairing normal immune function. Clinically, lymphoma may present with painless lymphadenopathy, fever, night sweats, weight loss (B symptoms), and, in advanced cases, organ dysfunction. Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical assessment, imaging (CT, PET, MRI), laboratory studies, and definitive tissue biopsy, with further characterization by immunophenotyping and molecular analyses. Treatment is tailored to the lymphoma subtype and stage, and may include chemotherapy, targeted therapies (such as BTK inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies), immunotherapies (including CAR T-cell and bispecific antibodies), and, in selected cases, radiotherapy or stem cell transplantation. Advances in therapy have significantly improved survival, though prognosis varies by subtype and disease stage.

Lymphoma pathogenesis is driven by a spectrum of molecular targets that disrupt normal apoptosis, promote unchecked cell survival, and enable immune evasion. Central to these processes are the BCL2 family proteins (BCL2, BCL2L2, BCL2A1), which inhibit programmed cell death and confer resistance to therapy, particularly through overexpression in certain lymphoma subtypes. The mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (MTOR) orchestrates oncogenic signaling and cell growth, while immune checkpoints such as PDCD1 (PD-1) and TIGIT suppress anti-tumor immune responses, facilitating tumor persistence. Additional key targets include the chemokine receptor CXCR4, which mediates lymphoma cell migration and microenvironmental interactions, and DNA topoisomerases (TOP1, TOP2A), which maintain genomic stability but, when dysregulated, contribute to chromosomal instability and therapy resistance.
