Abbreviations: GCB: germinal center B-cell-like; DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; rMYC: rearrangement of MYC; gMYC: gain of the MYC locus; rBCL2: rearrangement of BCL2; gBCL2: gain of BCL2 locus; rBCL6 rearrangement of BCL6; gBCL6: gain of BCL6 locus. IPI score ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating the absence of prognostic factors and 5 indicating the presence of all prognostic factors. The IPI score was stratified by the proposed RIPI score. pSTAT3, phosphorylated STAT3 protein expression.
