Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The definitions of follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are evolving in the era of personalized medicine. Early stages of the evolution of FL have been recognized. Two histological manifestations of early lesions are in situ follicular neoplasia and duodenal type FL. Additionally, FL frequently undergoes histological transformation, the most common form being DLBCL. High-grade B-cell lymphoma with double hit, with translocations involving BCL2 and MYC are important clinically. Rarer forms of transformation include classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) and histiocytic sarcoma. In addition to conventional FL associated with the BCL2 translocation, alternative forms of BCL2-negative FL have been observed. These are heterogenous clinically and genetically. A distinctive group of B-cell lymphomas of follicle cell derivation arise in young patients and include pediatric type FL, testicular FL and a large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement. Historically DLBCL was separated into only two histological variants, centroblastic and immunoblastic. In 2017 the WHO classification recommended (1) the segregation of activated B cell and germinal center B cell derived DLBCL, (2) the identification of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with double hit, and (3) the recognition of an aggressive lymphoma that may resemble Burkitt lymphoma, currently designated in the International Consensus Classification as Large B-cell lymphoma with 11q aberration. Today we appreciate greater genomic complexity among aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Recent studies with NGS and mutational profiling have identified clinically significant genetic subgroups. It is hoped that these data ultimately will lead to targeted therapy based on the genetic profile.
