Therapeutic outcomes of TP53-mutated diffuse large B cell lymphoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Meta-analysis establishes remission rates for a high-risk lymphoma subtype, revealing substantial differences across studies and reinforcing the need for dedicated clinical trials.

Meta-analysis of 31 studies (n=1164) establishes pooled remission benchmarks for TP53-mutated DLBCL: 60% CR with targeted therapy plus chemotherapy in newly diagnosed, and 39% CR with CAR-T in relapsed/refractory disease. High between-study heterogeneity reflects heterogeneous TP53m DLBCL biology and reinforces need for dedicated prospective trials in this high-risk lymphoma group.
