Abstrakt: EBV positive Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+DLBCL-NOS) referred to DLBCL with expression of EBV encoded RNA in tumor nucleus. EBV+DLBCL-NOS patients present with more advanced clinical stages and frequent extranodal involvement. Although rituximab-containing immunochemotherapy regimens can significantly improve outcomes in patients with EBV+DLBCL, the best first-line treatment needs to be further explored. Due to the relatively low incidence and regional variation of EBV+DLBCL-NOS, knowledge about this particular subtype of lymphoma remains limited. Some signaling pathways was abnormally activated in EBV+DLBCL-NOS, including NF-κB and JAK/STAT pathways) and other signal transduction pathways. In addition, immune processes such as interferon response, antigen-presenting system and immune checkpoint molecule abnormalities were also observed. Currently, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy and novel targeted therapeutic drugs are expected to improve the prognosis of EBV+DLBCL-NOS patients, but more studies are needed to confirm this.
