Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, there have been rapid advances in the molecular diagnostics of malignancy, including lymphoma. This has led to the publication of an integrated WHO classification system for lymphoid malignancy incorporating clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic data. This Special Issue seeks expert review and primary research articles on recent advances in the molecular diagnostics of lymphoma which include future perspectives/directions.

Dr. Richard Flavin
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

EATL is an aggressive T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor prognosis and is largely localized to the small intestine. EATL is closely associated with coeliac disease (CD) and is seen mostly in patients originating from Northern Europe. Various factors are associated with an increased risk of developing EATL, such as viral infection, advanced age, being male, and the presence of the HLA-DQ2 haplotype. Clonal rearrangements in the TCR-β and γ genes have been reported in all EATL morphological variants with distinctive immunophenotypic characteristics. Although EATL can occur de novo, individuals with RCDII are at a higher risk of developing EATL. The cells of origin of EATL has been postulated to be normal small intestinal intraepithelial T-lymphocytes (IELs), and more recent evidence suggests a link between innate precursor IELs and EATL derived from refractory coeliac disease type II (RCDII). The immune microenvironment of mucosal cells within the small intestine enhances the process of neoplastic transformation of IELs into EATL. Cytokines such as IL-15 can activate and crucially deregulate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway by binding to receptors on the surface of IELs. Furthermore, mutations in the JAK/STAT pathway have been associated with RCDII-derived EATL. Full article

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a form of B-cell malignancy that progresses aggressively and is most often seen in children. While Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that has been linked to a variety of cancers, it can transform B lymphocytes into immortalized cells, as shown in BL. Therefore, the estimated prevalence of EBV in a population may assist in the prediction of whether this population has a high risk of increased BL cases. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of Epstein–Barr virus in patients with Burkitt lymphoma. Using the appropriate keywords, four electronic databases were searched. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal tool. The results were reported as percentages with a 95% confidence interval using a random-effects model (CI). PROSPERO was used to register the protocol (CRD42022372293), and 135 studies were included. The prevalence of Epstein–Barr virus in patients with Burkitt lymphoma was 57.5% (95% CI: 51.5 to 63.4, n = 4837). The sensitivity analyses demonstrated consistent results, and 65.2% of studies were of high quality. Egger’s test revealed that there was a significant publication bias. EBV was found in a significantly high proportion of BL patients (more than 50% of BL patients). This study recommends EBV testing as an alternative for predictions and the assessment of the clinical disease status of BL. Full article
