Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a relatively rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is biologically heterogeneous with several subtypes. The clinical course of the disease can be highly variable. Although MCL is aggressive in the majority of patients, some variants of the disease can be indolent.
Risk-stratification models based on biological and clinical features have been developed, and identification of prognostic biomarkers at the time of diagnosis is becoming standard of care.
Although advances in treatment have improved outcomes in MCL, tailored approaches are needed based on the biology of the disease. Studies with novel therapies incorporating prognostic factors and biomarkers of response are under investigation.
