The B-cell Receptor Blueprint in Lymphoma: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

B-cell lymphomas exploit diverse BCR expression levels, classes, and signaling modes that span BCR-addicted to BCR-silent states and shape their genetic programs and therapeutic dependencies. A unified BCR blueprint reframes these diseases along a continuum of BCR signaling and isotype-driven biology, particularly in germinal center-derived entities. Embedding this blueprint into routine clinical testing has the potential to improve prediction of response or resistance to BCR-targeted and other mechanism-based therapies.
