Richter transformation: emerging immunologic strategies beyond chemoimmunotherapy.

Richter transformation (RT) is an aggressive lymphoma that arises in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-RT). Outcomes remain poor with conventional chemoimmunotherapy, reflecting the role of increased genomic instability and impaired DNA repair in the pathogenesis of RT.
