Popis: Background: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) has been classified based on Cell of Origin (COO) into Germinal Center B-cell (GCB) and Non-Germinal Center B-cell (Non-GCB). The practical application of this concept by immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based subtyping with Hans’ algorithm and its role as a prognostic factor has been widely investigated with conflicting results. Moreover, the recent deeper molecular characterizations of DLBCL have been another challenges for this approach to remain as a prognostic factor. Objective: To determine the prognostic value of COO by IHC-based subtyping with Hans’ algorithm for DLBCL. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center retrospective analysis including DLBCL cases diagnosed in 2014-2019 from Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Hans’ algorithm with CD10, BCL6, and MUM1 were used. The two subtypes were compared in terms of clinicopathological features and 3 years overall survival. Results: Seventy patients were included in this study. Non-GCB was predominant than GCB 74.3% vs 25.7%, with the ratio of 2.8:1. No statistical difference in the clinicopathological features from both subtypes in terms of age, gender, Ann Arbor stadium, ECOG performance status, extra-nodal involvement, and LDH level. Ann Arbor stadium and ECOG showed significant prognostic value for patients outcome with multivariate analysis (OR 3.64; 95%CI 0.18-0.61; p=0.001) and (OR 2.68; 95%CI 0.11-0.77; p=0.009). Survival analysis based on COO did not show significant difference between GCB and non-GCB subtypes (log rank=0.46). Further analysis based on COO and the use of rituximab showed better OS in the two subtypes than without rituximab although not significant (log rank=0.67). Conclusion: The role of COO with Hans’ algorithm as prognostic factor in DLBCL is not confirmed in this study. Some related factors may be the addition of rituximab and the recent molecular characterization of DLBCL which covered a more subtle classification of the disease beyond GCB and non-GCB subtypes.
