    Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with challenges in treatment resistance and relapse. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has provided important insights into tumor heterogeneity, microenvironment interactions, resistance mechanisms, and prognostic biomarkers. This review summarizes key findings from scRNA-seq studies, which have deepened our understanding of DLBCL and contributed to the development of precision therapeutic strategies. Further clinical validation is needed to translate these findings into practice. Integrating scRNA-seq with spatial transcriptomics and single-cell multi-omics may further elucidate disease mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets, supporting the advancement of precision medicine in DLBCL.

    Keywords: single-cell RNA sequencing, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), tumor heterogeneity, microenvironment, Prognostic biomarkers
