Although the majority of patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be cured with the standard immunochemotherapy R‐CHOP, one‐third of them relapses with a dismal outcome in most cases. In the recent years, remarkable advances have been achieved based on the discovery of molecular genetics in DLBCL. In addition to the major cell‐of‐origin designations of germinal center B‐cell and activated B‐cell subtypes, next‐generation sequencing has unveiled the remarkable complexity of DLBCL and identified potential molecular targets for tailored therapies. Despite these findings, the current standard of care for DLBCL patients is still R‐CHOP, and optimization of frontline therapy remains an important goal. In this review, we summarize recent updates on the evolution of frontline therapies for DLBCL.
