[Title] Japanese multicenter phase II study of CHOP followed by radiotherapy in stage I-II, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the stomach.

CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) followed by radiotherapy is regarded as standard care for localized aggressive lymphoma; however, prospective confirmation of its applicability to localized primary gastric lymphoma is inadequate, and most patients in Japan have been initially treated with gastrectomy.

We conducted a multicenter phase II study to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the non-surgical treatment.

Eligibility criteria required primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, stage I-II(1), age 20-75, performance status 0-1 and adequate organ function.

Patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 61 years; 28 men, 24 women; 36 with stage I, 16 with stage II(1); 47 with a low International Prognostic Index (IPI) and five with a low-intermediate IPI.

CHOP followed by radiotherapy is safe and highly effective in localized gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

[Title] Stroma-initiated hedgehog signaling takes center stage in B-cell lymphoma.

Hedgehog-mediated signaling has been shown to promote growth and dissemination of solid cancers, most prominently basal cell carcinomas and medulloblastoma.

Hedgehog ligands secreted by stromal cells could elicit Patched/Smoothened-mediated antiapoptotic signaling in mouse B-cell lymphomas.

Inhibition of hedgehog signaling induced apoptosis in lymphoma cells and prolonged survival of lymphoma-bearing mice.

[Title] Comparison of peripheral T-cell lymphomas and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a biologically heterogeneous subgroup of lymphomas with poor prognosis.

In this study, the authors analyzed the clinical behaviors of PTCLs and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

METHODS: The authors compared the characteristics and outcomes of 59 patients with PTCLs, including 33 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas and 26 unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphomas, with the characteristics and outcomes of 193 patients with DLBCLs who were treated in the era before rituximab.

RESULTS: Based on the clinical characteristics, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), poor PS, advanced stage, higher International Prognostic Index score, and B symptoms were more common in patients with PTCLs, and bulky mass was more common in patients with DLBCL.

T-cell phenotype itself did not appear to have a significant impact on either response or survival.

[Title] Therapeutic comparison of chemotherapy and surgery for early stage diffuse large B-cell gastric lymphoma.

PURPOSE: The use of surgery versus stomach-preserving treatment for primary gastric lymphoma has caused controversy among doctors.

This retrospective, single center study aims to evaluate the efficacy and benefit of stomach-preserving treatment against surgery for early stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of stomach.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: From August 1991 to January 2006, 43 cases of early-stage diffuse large B-cell gastric lymphoma were reviewed.

The complete remission and response rates were 63.6% and 90.9% in those treated with CT +/- RT (7 complete responders, 3 partial responders, 1 non-responder), 100% and 100% in those treated with OP, and 100% and 100% in those treated with OP + CT, respectively.

CONCLUSION: In preventing morbidity arising from early or late complications from surgery and promoting quality of life, chemotherapy should be a primary consideration for early stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the stomach.

[Title] [Microsatellite instability in gastric B-cell lymphoma].

However, the role of MSI in the development of gastric B-cell lymphomas remains unsettled.

We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of MSI in patients with gastric B-cell lymphoma.

Among the gastric B-cell lymphoma patients who underwent MSI analysis between September 2002 and May 2003, twenty-two patients were enrolled.

Between MSS group and MSI-L group, there was no significant difference in age, tumor stage, location, grade of large cell component, H. pylori infection, bulk of tumor and proportion of regression or recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS: The current study suggests that the role of MSI is questionable in the development of gastric B-cell lymphoma due to their low incidence.

[Title] [Efficacy of CHOP+/-Rituximab-like therapy plus radiation therapy for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma stage I].

Clinically, R-CHOP-like therapy plus radiation therapy is commonly performed for patients with limited stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

In particular, we have few definitive reports about patients with stage I DLBCL.

This time we evaluated the effect of CHOP+/-R-like therapy plus radiation therapy, by analyzing 28 patients with stage I DLBCL, retrospectively.

We need to assess the safety and the efficacy of the combined modality therapy for patients with limited-stage DLBCL by a larger prospective study.

[Title] [Mantle cell lymphoma: case report].

[Transliterated title] Köpenysejtes lymphoma: esetismertetés.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a moderately aggressive disease, which is not curable with chemo-immunotherapy.

Most of the patients have advanced stage disease at the time of diagnosis.

The tumor cells express pan-B-cell markers and the T-cell marker CD5.

The overexpression of cyclin D1 was found as another marker for mantle cell lymphoma.

Combined chemotherapy, chemo-immunotherapy, autologous peripheral stem cell (and allogenous) transplantation is the treatment of choice.

The survival time after the complex treatment (chemo-immunotherapy, irradiation, surgical intervention, autologous stem cell transplantation) was 80 and 90 months, respectively.

In addition to the history of two patients, authors review the current treatment options in mantle cell lymphoma.

[Title] [Analysis of prognostic factors in children with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL)].

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to analyze prognostic factors in patients with diagnosed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL).

Median age at diagnosis of both relapsed and non-relapsed children was 8 years.

There was no relapse in stage I, whilst in stage II - 1 relapse occurred, in stage III - 5 relapses, and in stage IV - 7 relapses.

The mean time of achieving complete remission was 67 days in patients demonstrating relapse and 59 days in non-relapsed patients.

In patients with relapse the mean initial serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was significantly lower than in non-relapsed group.

Among relapsed patients, 12 (92%) were EBV-seropositive at diagnosis, whereas only 13 (42%) in the group of non-relapsed patients.

In the subgroup of children with primary bone marrow involvement the mean absolute count of lymphoblasts in peripheral blood measured at diagnosis was 38.5 G/L in relapsed children and 5.2 G/L in non-relapsed children.

In the studied group EBV-seropositivity and initial lower serum LDH level are suggested to be risk factors of relapse of the lymphoma.

[Transliterated title] Resultados del protocolo SHOP LNHB98 (LMB89) en pacientes de edad pediátrica afectados de linfoma no hodgkiniano de células B.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: After the good results obtained by the Société Française d'Oncologie Pédiatrique (SFOP) regarding the pediatric B-type non-Hodgkin's (Burkitt and large B-cell) lymphoma and L3 leukemia, the Sociedad Española de Hematología y Oncología Pediátricas (SHOP) decided to use the same treatment protocol.

PATIENTS AND METHOD: Pediatric patients diagnosed with B-type non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without a previous history of malignant diseases were eligible for this study.

They were classified in 3 groups of risk: group A (resected stage I and abdominal stage II), group B (not eligible for groups A or C), and group C (with central nervous system involvement and L3 leukemia).

RESULTS: A total of 153 patients were considered in this multicenter, prospective and non-randomized trial (1997-2005).

CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm the good efficiency of the LMB89 protocol for treating B-cell lymphoma and L3 leukemia, despite having diminished the treatment intensity in the less risk groups.

In addition, no differences were evidenced between Burkitt and large B-cell lymphoma.

[Title] Management of refractory early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that manifest primarily in the skin.

Patients with early-stage CTCL usually have a benign and chronic disease course.

However, although there is a wide array of therapeutic options for early-stage CTCL, not all patients respond to these individual therapies, resulting in refractory cutaneous disease over time.

Refractory early-stage CTCL poses an important therapeutic challenge, as one of the principal treatment goals is to keep the disease confined to the skin, thereby preventing disease progression.

Recent novel developments include oral bexarotene, a retinoid X receptor-selective retinoid that has activity in all stages of CTCL and has been shown to be effective in patients with refractory early-stage disease as well as advanced-stage disease.

Systemic chemotherapy is typically reserved for advanced-stage CTCL and is usually not recommended for early-stage, skin-limited disease.

However, recent exploratory studies indicate that low-dose methotrexate may represent an overall well tolerated therapy in a subset of patients with refractory early-stage CTCL, as may pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, which is currently being investigated in this specific clinical setting.

Another recently FDA-approved therapy is the interleukin-2 fusion toxin denileukin diftitox, which is now well established to play a role in the treatment of refractory CTCL, including early-stage extensive plaque disease.

The value of other agents, such as topical tazarotene, topical methotrexate, and topical imiquimod, and of novel immunomodulatory approaches including monoclonal antibodies, still needs to be assessed for refractory early-stage CTCL.

[Title] The prognostic significance of the number of extranodal sites in the patients with disseminated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with R-CHOP.

: 8570 Background: The combination of rituximab and CHOP chemotherapy (R-CHOP) has improved survival of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

METHODS: Between January 2002 and May 2008, 126 patients with stage III/IV DLBCL treated with R-CHOP were identified.

Although all three indices remain predictive, E-IPI is the best model to identify the prognostic group in this cohort with stage III/IV DLBCL treated with R-CHOP.

[Title] Clinical usefulness of PET/CT in initial staging and response evaluation of primary gastric lymphoma.

: e19541 Background: Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan has a well-established role in the management of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

However, in case of the primary gastric lymphoma, which is the most frequent extranodal NHL, the role of PET/CT scan is still controversial.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 42 patients with primary gastric lymphoma who underwent PET/CT scans; 32 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 10 patients with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) were analyzed.

The high SUVmax group, defined as SUVmax ≥ median value, was significantly associated with an advanced Lugano stage (P < 0.001).

All of these gastric lesions were grossly and pathologically benign lesions without evidence of lymphoma cells.

CONCLUSIONS: PET/CT scan can help staging patients with primary gastric lymphoma, and the maximum SUV has possibility to have prognostic value.

[Title] Phase I/II study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for localized nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma: Final results of JCOG0211.

: 8549 Background: Nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare and its standard therapy has not been established.

METHODS: To explore a more effective treatment for localized nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, we conducted a phase I/II study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy consisted of 50 Gy of RT and 3 courses of DeVIC [carboplatin (CBDCA), etoposide (ETP), ifosfamide (IFM), dexamethasone (DMS)].

27 pts evaluated in the phase II portion showed the following features: age 21-68 yrs (median 56), M:F=17:10, stage IE 18, stage IIE 9, B symptom (+) 10, elevated serum LDH 5, PS2 2.

The most common grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities were mucositis due to RT (30%) and infection (30%).

CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using MDR-non-related agents and ETP is a safe and effective treatment for localized nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, providing the basis for subsequent studies.

[Title] Primary nasopharyngeal non Hodgkin lymphoma: A retrospective investigation of 26 patients.

: e19552 Background: Primary nasopharyngeal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NNHL) was uncommon.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed various characteristics of Primary NNHL: patient demographics, clinical and histological diagnosis, disease stage, treatment effects and outcome, in 26 patients treated at our institution between January 2001 and December 2007.

Histological analysis showed follicular lymphoma in 7 cases (26.9%), large B-cell lymphoma in 11 cases (42,3%) and T lymphoma in 4 cases ( 15,3%).

Four (15.4%) of the patients were at stage I, 15 (57.6%) were at stage II, and 7 (27%) were at stage III/IV.

At early stage, the patients were managed with chemo-radiotherapy and were managed with CHOP based chemotherapy at advanced stage.

CONCLUSIONS: From our study and from the literature, we conclude that histological characteristics, principle of treatment and outcome of primary NNHL patients are similar to that of patients with nodal lymphoma.

[Title] Analysis of prognostic factors in patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

: 8575 Background: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-1) described in Southern Japan, Europe, Caribbean and South America.

In the univariate analysis, presence of B symptoms, ECOG performance status 2, clinical stage II or higher, elevated LDH level and bone marrow (BM) involvement were independent factors for survival with p<0.05.

The prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma (PIT) score was determined in 80 patients; 20 (25%), 17 (21%), 33 (41%) and 10 (13%) patients had scores of 0-1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

The IPI ant PIT scores, used for risk-stratification of aggressive B-cell and peripheral T-cell lymphomas, respectively, appear as good prognostic indicators for ATLL as well.

Further research is needed to better risk-stratify this unique lymphoma.

[Title] Regression of follicular lymphoma with alternative therapy using Devil's Claw (DC); Coincidence or causation?

Two follicular lymphoma (FL) pts who had objective tumor regression after taking the herb DC without cytotoxic therapy are reported here.

In January 2000, pt #1 presented with co-existent IgG plasma cell dyscrasia and stage 3A grade 2 FL with 5 cm cervical and R/P nodes.

He developed overt myeloma in Aug 2001, when he stopped DC/Essiac and received HDCT/ASCT following which there has been no clinical progression of lymphoma.

In November 2003, pt #2 presented with stage 3A grade 1 FL.

He learned of pt #1 through the local Lymphoma Patient Support Group and started DC alone.

COX-2 inhibition has an accepted role in cancer prevention (Steinbach et al, NEJM 2000), has been implicated in lymphomagenesis (Wun et al, Leuk Res 2004) and associated with both stage of lymphoma and response to standard treatment (Hazar et al, Leuk Lymphoma 2004).

However, spontaneous regression in low grade lymphoma has been reported in 7 of 44 pts on observation only (Krikorian et al, 1980); none were on herbal medications or COX-2 inhibitors.

[Title] HIV-associated peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

: e19551 Background: T-cell lymphomas (TCL) constitute 3% of all AIDS-related lymphomas.

These lymphomas comprise a diverse group of disease entities, including peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), which represent the most common subtype.

Data regarding patient age, gender, HIV status (CD4 count, viral load, opportunistic infections), use of HAART, lymphoma features (B symptoms, stage, sites of involvement, immunophenotype, molecular studies), EBV coinfection, therapy, and outcome (survival, cause of death) were analyzed and reported descriptively.

Stage III and IV disease was found in 17 and 5 cases, respectively, accounting for 76% of the total cases.

T-cell receptor gene rearrangement was positive in 10 out of 10 (100%) analyzed cases.

Twenty-two patients (69%) died complicated by infections in 57% and lymphoma progression in 36% of cases.

Apart from marked immunosuppression, the poor prognosis of HIV-associated PTCL appears to be related to advanced stage at presentation, presence of B symptoms, elevated LDH levels, prominent extranodal disease, and poor response to CHOP chemotherapy.

[Title] BEAM or BuCyE high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.

: 7097 Background: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and toxicity of two high-dose regimens for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL): BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and BuCyE (busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide).

RESULTS: Median age was 46 years (range: 15-68), and baseline characteristics, such as gender, International Prognostic Index (IPI), age adjusted IPI, stage and status of disease at ASCT, and median number of infused CD 34+cells/kg were well balanced between groups.

[Title] Association of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) in children (C) and adolescents (A) with a significantly inferior prognosis: Final results of the FAB/LMB 96 trial.

: 10001 Background: Single pediatric cooperative group studies have demonstrated an EFS ranging from 65 - 75% in C & A with large cell lymphomas arising in the mediastinum (Lones/Cairo et al, J Clin Oncol, 2000; Burkhardt/Reiter et al, Br J Haematol, 2005; Seidman/Reiter et al, J Clin Oncol, 2003).

Recently, Staudt and Shipp have independently demonstrated that following gene expression profiling by oligonucleotide microarray that PMBL resembles more like classical Hodgkin lymphoma than diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with enhanced NF-κB pathway gene expression (Rosenwald et al, J Exp Med, 2003; Abramson et al, Blood, 2005).

RESULTS: There were 528 patients with stage III/IV disease treated on group B therapy on FAB/LMB 96 resulting in a 2 yr EFS of 84% (CI₉₅: 82-86%).

5 yr EFS was significantly inferior compared to the remainder of the other patients with stage III disease treated on group B therapy (54%: CI₉₅ 38-68% vs 85%: CI₉₅ 81-88%) (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: PMBL in C & A is associated with a significantly inferior EFS compared to other histological forms of stage III/IV mature B-NHL.

[Title] Lymphoma recurrence 5 years or more following diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Clinical characteristics and outcome.

: 8562 Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) usually relapses early following treatment but some relapses happen 5 years or later.

Clinical characteristics at diagnosis were: median age 57 y; stage I-II 63% (34/54); IPI low/low intermediate 84% (41/49) and extranodal involvement (EN) 66% (35/53).

IHC at diagnosis: CD20 100% (46/46), CD10 28% (10/36), bcl-6 53% (9/17), MUM1 48% (11/23), bcl-2 68% (19/28), germinal-center phenotype (GC) 57% (12/21) and non-GC 43% (9/21).

Clinical characteristics at relapse were: median age 66 y; stage I-II 48% (26/54); 73% (31/43) with DLBCL at relapse had EN.

54% (15/28) with DLBCL at relapse had a GC phenotype and 46% (13/28) a non-GC phenotype.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with DLBCL who present a late relapse usually had localized stage, favorable IPI and extranodal involvement at diagnosis.

[Title] Analysis of prognostic factors in patients with EBV positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the elderly.

: e19542 Background: EBV positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the elderly is a new entity included in the Fourth edition of WHO Classification.

AIM: The goal of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and survival of EBV positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the elderly from Peruvian patients.

METHODS: Between January 2002 and June 2008, eleven patients with EBV positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the elderly were included in the analysis.

Stage: I (n=1), II (n=1), III (n=5) and IV (n=4).

Ten cases (83%) were of the Non-GC and 1 case was GC.

CONCLUSIONS: EBV positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the elderly was related to high IPI, poor ECOG, frequent extranodal disease, poor response to treatment and very short survival.

It is the first report of this entity in a non-Asian population.

[Title] Salvage chemotherapy with rituximab, oxaliplatin, cytosine arabinoside, and dexamethasone (ROAD) in patients with relapsed CD20+ aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

Patients were considered for autologous stem cell transplantation after 2 cycles if eligible.

Eligible histologies included diffuse large B cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and transformed lymphoma in first relapse.

Baseline characteristics of eligible patients included median age 69 (range 23 - 77), 53% were male, 53% had advanced stage at relapse, LDH was elevated in 58% and all patients had an ECOG PS of 2 or less.

31 patients experienced grade III/IV hematologic toxicity and 22 patients had grade III/IV non-hematologic toxicity, primarily febrile neutropenia.

CONCLUSIONS: ROAD is a safe and effective salvage chemotherapy regimen for relapsed aggressive lymphoma, including as a preparatory regimen prior to stem cell transplant.

[Title] Activity of lenalidomide in a phase II trial for T-cell lymphoma: Report on the first 24 cases.

: 8524 Background: Novel therapies are needed to improve outcomes in T-cell lymphomas.

We report the interim results of a prospective multicenter trial evaluating lenalidomide in T-cell lymphomas.

METHODS: Patients with relapsed and refractory T-cell lymphomas other than mycosis fungoides were prescribed oral lenalidomide (25mg daily) on days 1 to 21 of each 28 day cycle, with standardized dose reductions for toxicity.

The two-stage design allows for up to 40 patients.

The histology was peripheral T-cell unspecified (PTCL-u, n=10), angioimmunoblastic (n=7), anaplastic large cell (n=5), enteropathic T-cell (n=1) and hepatosplenic gamma/delta (n=1).

Median number of prior therapies was 1 (range, 0-4), and three had prior autologous stem cell transplant.

CONCLUSIONS: In relapsed and refractory T-cell lymphomas, oral lenalidomide monotherapy has clinical activity and toxicity is consistent with the known profile of lenalidomide.

[Title] HIV-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

: e19563 Background: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a CD30+ T-cell lymphoma that is generally unrelated to EBV in the non-HIV setting.

Based upon anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) expression, the new WHO classification provisionally distinguishes between ALK+ (favorable) and ALK- (unfavorable) ALCL.

METHODS: A MEDLINE search for all cases of HIV-associated non-cutaneous ALCL was undertaken.

Data regarding patient age, gender, HIV status (CD4 count, viral load, opportunistic infections), HAART, lymphoma features (B symptoms, stage, sites of involvement, immunophenotype, ALK expression, molecular studies), EBV coinfection, therapy and outcome (survival, cause of death) were extracted and analyzed.

Many (78%) patients had stage IV disease and B symptoms were reported in 9 cases (50%).

T-cell receptor gene rearrangement was present in all cases, CD30 was positive in 22 (96%), and the vast majority (90%) were ALK-negative.

Death was caused by either lymphoma progression (42%) or infection (58%).

CONCLUSIONS: HIV-associated non-cutaneous ALCL appears to affect younger individuals and is associated with EBV infection in a subset of cases.

Apart from marked immunosuppression, the poor prognosis of HIV-associated ALCL appears to be related to the absence of ALK expression, advanced stage at presentation with prominent extranodal disease, inadequate therapy including HAART, and poor response to CHOP.

Further research is needed to better understand and treat this unique HIV-associated lymphoma.

: 7106 Background: Autologous stem cell transplanation is the standard of care for patients of relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL).

Prognostic factors evaluated for progression free survival (PFS) were serum albumin level and body mass index (BMI) at the time of transplant, stage at diagnosis and source of stem cells, while for over all survival (OS), status of disease at transplant was also included.

Our data suggests that serum albumin level at the time of transplant and stem cell source are important prognostic factors for PFS and OS.

The IPS is calculated as the number of poor risk features present based on male sex, age ≥45, albumin (alb) <4 g/dL, hemoglobin (hem) <10.5 g/dL, stage IV, white blood cell (WBC) ≥15,000/mm³, lymphocyte (lymph) <600/mm³ and/or <8% of total WBC.

All 7 factors were significant (p<.001 for sex, age, albu, hem, stage and lymph; .07 for WBC); and therefore recursive partioning algorithm was used to identify a cutoff for determining bone marrow involvement (BMI).

The purpose of this study was to gather data on the epidemiology of AIDS-defining (AD) and non-AIDS-defining (NAD) malignancies in HIV-positive patients (pts) in Germany in the past decade.

The questionnaire requested information on all malignancies in HIV-positive pts, tumor stage, CDC (Center for Disease Control)-stage of the HIV infection, sex, treatment and clinical course.

The majority of pts had advanced HIV-disease (CDC stage C3), but the proportion of pts with stage C3 decreased from 58% in 2000 to 36.8% in 2007.

253 (45.8%) were AD as follows: 132 Kaposi Sarcomas, 109 aggressive B-cell lymphomas, 12 invasive cervix carcinomas.

The B-cell lymphomas further included 28 Burkitt's lymphomas, 30 DLBCL, 9 Castleman diseases, 8 primary cerebral lymphomas.

Among the 299 cases (54.2%) of NAD malignomas were 213 solid tumors including 71 anal carcinomas (= 33.5% of all NAD malignancies) and 85 hemoblastoses including 29 Hodgkin lymphomas (= 9.6% of all NAD malignancies).

The number of pts with Hodgkin's lymphoma has increased constantly from 2000 to 2007.

Anal carcinomas and Hodgkin's lymphomas in particular were markedly more prevalent in our HIV-positive cohort compared to published reports of the general population.

The incidence of primary cerebral lymphomas seems to decrease, whereas the incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is increasing.

[Title] Response of AIDS-related plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) to bortezomib.

They are terminally differentiated B-cell neoplasms, and typically lack common B-cell markers but uniformly express plasma cell markers.

Flow cytometry was negative for CD45 and all common epithelial, T-cell and B-cell markers, but was positive for CD138 and p63(VS38c).

The diagnosis was stage IVBE PBL.

The WHO classifies PBL as a variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

However, studies of their immunophenotype and molecular histogenesis suggest that PBL are more closely related to plasma cell neoplasms.

Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor widely used in multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma.

We chose bortezomib based on our patient's poor performance status and immune function, the desire to avoid combination chemotherapy, and translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus (8;14) similar to those seen in multiple myeloma(4;14, 14;16) and mantle cell lymphoma(11;14).

A shift in the paradigm of treatment of PBL towards agents effective in plasma cell malignancies may be necessary.

[Title] Application of the mantle international prognostic index (MIPI) to patients with mantle cell lymphoma treated with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide: Results from a UK NCRI Lymphoma Group study.

: 8555 Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains an incurable malignancy with conventional chemotherapeutic options with little randomised evidence to help direct therapy.

The International Prognostic Index (IPI) for diffuse large cell lymphoma or Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) showed poor separation of survival curves in MCL patients.

A new prognostic index (MIPI) based on age, performance status, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and leukocyte count was developed for patients with advanced stage MCL.

METHODS: Patients with advanced stage, newly diagnosed MCL were randomised to receive either oral fludarabine 40mg/m² and cyclophosphamide 250mg/m² daily x 3 repeated every 28 days (FC) or FC with standard dose rituximab (375mg/m² on day 1 of every cycle) (FCR).

[Title] Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma-Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

In the WHO classification, WM is associated to lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL); it is a clinicopathologic entity characterized by a monoclonal expansion of predominantly small B-lymphocytes with variable plasmacytoid differentiation.

Cells of LPL/WM are B cells positive for monocytic Ig light chains, IgM, pan-B-cell markers, and negative for CD3 and CD103.

The median survival of patients with LPL or WM is 50-60 months, transformation to large cell lymphoma may occur.

Stage definition is irrelevant in WM considering that initiation of therapy is decided on the bases of prognostic factors and the development of disease-related symptoms and signs.

[Title] Can patients with early-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma be treated without bone marrow biopsy?

BACKGROUND: Data on the incidence of bone marrow (BM) involvement in early-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are lacking.

This analysis aims to assess the incidence of BM involvement and to identify parameters predicting BM involvement in early-stage DLBCL.

The data collected were age, sex, presence of B symptoms, white blood cell (WBC) count, platelet count, haemoglobin (Hb), serum lactate dehydrogenase level, serum beta(2)-microglobulin level, presence of extranodal disease, and the presence of bulky disease (defined as >7 cm).

CONCLUSIONS: BM biopsy may be safely omitted in selected patients with early-stage DLBCL.

[Title] Clinicopathologic correlations of stage IE/IIE primary thyroid diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: We studied the clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses of localized stage thyroid diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 32 patients with stage I/IIE thyroid DLBCL.

The germinal center B-cell (GCB) type had a significantly better prognosis than the non-GCB type.

CONCLUSION: Localized stage thyroid DLBCL is a disease with a relatively good prognosis.

Localized stage thyroid DLBCL has a good prognosis and it is that there are more GCB-type DLBCL lymphomas.

[Transliterated title] Etude cytologique, immunophénotypique et cytogénétique d'une série de 136 cas consécutifs d'hémopathies lymphoïdes chroniques à cellules B matures.

A cytological, immunophenotypical and cytogenetical study of 136 chronic B-cell proliferations (93 CLL, 43 B-cell lymphomas) was led in order to precise diagnosis and to characterize and appreciate chromosomal rearrangements.

In this series, mainly selected on blood lymphocytosis criteria, B-CLL were twice more frequent than small B-cell lymphomas.

The frequency of clonal abnormalities (CC and FISH) was 74.8% for this series, with 74.4% for lymphomas and 75.3% for CLL, mainly of Binet stage A (69 A, 13 B, 1 C, 10 unspecified).

In CLL, 13q14 cryptic deletions and translocations were widely majority, 14q32 translocations and trisomy 12 being predominant in lymphoma series.

Interphase FISH study of non-clonal metaphasic abnormalities with locus-specific probes often revealed unrecognised clones.

[Title] Venous thromboembolism in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

We conducted a retrospective record review to determine the frequency of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Those with transformation from low-grade lymphoma, central nervous system lymphoma, HIV-related lymphoma or with incomplete records were excluded.

Stage I disease was associated with a low risk, whereas a high international prognostic index score increased risk.

[Title] [Prognostic factors in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma].

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is an aggressive type of lymphoma, potentially curable, with heterogeneous prognosis.

The retrospective study was done in 50 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The following parameters were investigated: demographic (age, sex), clinical (time to diagnosis, B symptoms, clinical stage), laboratory (erythrocyte sedimentarion rate, haemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, albumine), standard and revised international prognostic index, and immunohystochemical parameters, cluster designation 20, B-cell-2, and Ki67 expression.

The majority of patients had advanced disease: B symptoms in 76%, III and IV stage in 78%, increased lactate dehydrogenase in 74%, high risk standard international prognostic index in 62% of patients.

B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 expression was found in 57%, and high Ki67 in 62% of patients.

Our results have shown that international prognostic index, and complete remission status have prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

[Title] Stage migration in dogs with lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Various diagnostic tests have been used to assign a clinical stage to dogs with lymphoma.

As more sensitive staging methods are introduced, dogs are reclassified as having a higher disease stage, thereby affecting comparisons of dogs across differently staged clinical trials, and possibly, prognosis.

HYPOTHESIS: The addition of more sensitive staging tests causes stage migration in dogs with lymphoma.

ANIMALS: Fifty-nine client-owned dogs with previously untreated cytologically or histologically confirmed lymphoma METHODS: For every dog, the World Health Organization stage classification (I-V) was based on 5 groupings of various diagnostic tests: A (physical examination [PE] and quantitative blood count [QBC]), B (PE, QBC, thoracic and abdominal radiographs), C (PE, complete blood count with blood-smear evaluation [CBC], thoracic and abdominal radiographs), D (PE, CBC, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound), and E (PE, CBC, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, and bone-marrow cytology).

However, the stage was not a predictor of remission rate, remission duration, or survival, regardless of staging method used.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: These data emphasized the need for standardized methods to determine the clinical stage in dogs with lymphoma.

[Title] Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is a unique type of B-cell lymphoma probably arising from a putative thymic medulla B-cell.

It constitutes 6-10% of all diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), occurring more often in young females.

The gene expression signature of PMLBCL seems to be much closer to classic Hodgkin lymphoma than to DLBCL.

Most PMLBCL patients have stage I-II, bulky disease, with pleural or pericardial effusions in a third of cases.

[Title] Late relapse in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The outcomes for 162 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with a CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone)-like regimen who obtained a complete remission and who subsequently relapsed after ≥5 years of remission (late relapse, N=30), or <5 years of remission (early relapse, N=132), were compared.

The late relapsing patients had better prognostic characteristics at diagnosis, such as stage I/II disease (73% vs. 49%, P=0·04), a normal lactic dehydrogenase (77% vs. 48%, P=0·01), and a Karnofsky performance score of ≥80 (100% vs. 86%, P=0·01).

However, the overall survival from the time of relapse was not different between early and late relapsing patients with most succumbing to lymphoma.

[Title] Stage IV marginal zone B-cell lymphoma--prognostic factors and the role of rituximab: Consortium for Improving Survival of Lymphoma (CISL) study.

Stage IV marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (MZL) are detected in more than 25% of lymphoma patients.

In this study, we conducted retrospective analyses of specific cases of stage IV MZL in order to assess their clinical features, as well as the treatments and prognoses of these cases.

A total of 94 patients with histological diagnosis of stage IV-MZL from 17 different institutions in Korea were included.

Bone-marrow-involved stage IV MZL (BM-MZL) was detected in 33 patients (35.1%).

Patients with lymph node involvement in stage IV MZL appeared to have worse prognoses in TTP (P=0.015).

Stage IV MZL tend to follow an indolent disease course.

[Title] Role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for advanced-stage diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma-B.

The prognosis of patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma-B (DLCL-B) is poor with conventional salvage chemotherapy; therefore, high-dose therapy (HDT) combined with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) has become the treatment of choice for these patients.

Since rituximab is an effective therapy for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and given its limited toxicity, rituximab has been incorporated into HDT and ASCT for DLCL-B as in vivo purging, as part of high-dose regimens, and as maintenance therapy to prevent relapse.

Allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) for patients with relapsed DLCL-B is associated with significant toxicity and should be reserved for patients who relapse after ASCT or those with persistent marrow involvement.

[Title] Genetic alterations in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Although the patients with diagnosed B-NHL are classified into the same disease stage on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunological parameters, they respond significantly different to the applied treatment.

This points out the possibility that within the same group of lymphoma there are different diseases at molecular level.

There were 34 cases of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), 5 cases of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-NHL) and 6 cases of chronic lymphadenitis (CL).

The mononuclear cell fraction of the peripheral blood of 12 patients with B-NHL was analyzed for the presence of monoclonality at the time of diagnosis and in 3 to 6 months time intervals after an autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

[Title] Nongastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: analysis of 247 cases.

Nongastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (NG-MZL) is a relatively uncommon indolent lymphoma.

Ann Arbor stage I/II disease was present in 78% (167 out of 215).

Eighty percent (172/215) were in low risk group according to Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI).

Complete and partial remissions (CR and PR) were achieved in 140 (92.7%) and 8 (5.3%) of the 151 stage I/II patients.

In 38 patients with stage III/IV, CR and PR were achieved in 17 (44.7%) and 11 (26.3%), respectively.

Stage III/IV, low hemoglobin, poor performance status, high/high-intermediate IPI, poor risk FLIPI, and nodal MZL were poor prognostic factors for PFS.

[Title] Selective loss of B-cell phenotype in lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma.

The neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells characteristic of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) are of B-cell origin but they almost always show striking loss of a range of B-cell-associated molecules.

In contrast, the neoplastic cells found in lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (LPHL) (L&H cells) are traditionally thought of as possessing the full repertoire of features associated with germinal centre B cells (eg BCL-6 expression, 'ongoing' Ig gene mutation).

In the present paper, we report an extensive phenotypic analysis of L&H cells which revealed down-regulation of a number of markers associated with the B-cell lineage (eg CD19, CD37) and with the germinal centre maturation stage (eg PAG, LCK).

In contrast, these genes showed promoter methylation in cell lines derived from CHL.

[Title] Risk and clinical implications of transformation of follicular lymphoma to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

PURPOSE: To study the clinical significance of transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1972 to 1999, 325 patients were diagnosed with FL at St Bartholomew's Hospital (London, United Kingdom).

The risk was higher in patients with advanced stage (P = .02), high-risk Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI; P = .01), and International Prognostic Index (IPI; P = .04) scores at diagnosis.

CONCLUSION: Advanced stage and high-risk FLIPI and IPI scores at diagnosis correlate with an increased risk of HT.

[Title] Improvement of overall survival in advanced stage mantle cell lymphoma.

PURPOSE: Mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs) represent a clinically aggressive lymphoma subtype with a poor prognosis.

To explore a potential progress in outcome a historical comparison was performed using data from the Kiel Lymphoma Study Group (KLSG; 1975 to 1986) and the German Low Grade Lymphoma Study Group (GLSG; 1996 to 2004).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients with the histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced-stage nonblastoid MCL were eligible.

Potential reasons for this apparent improvement in overall survival include the application of anthracycline-containing regimens and new approaches, such as antilymphoma antibodies or stem cell transplantation.

[Title] Six patients with early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma successfully treated with topical 5-fluorouracil.

Topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been used in the treatment of various benign and malignant tumors of the skin, but only few address its therapeutic value on cutaneoues T-cell lymphoma. (CTCL).

The authors report six cases of early stage CTCL responded to topical 5-FU.

All of these patients (four females and two males) with early stage CTCL (1A = 4; 18 = 1; 2B = 1) had good response to topical 5-FU following three to 18 months' treatment.

The overall efficacy, relatively modest price and low incidence of side effects indicate that topical 5-FU has a place for treatment of early stage CTCL.

[Title] Outcomes and effect of radiotherapy in patients with stage I or II diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a surveillance, epidemiology, and end results analysis.

PURPOSE: To assess disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), and the effect of radiotherapy (RT) in patients with localized diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was queried for all patients diagnosed with Stage I, IE, II, or IIE DLBCL between 1988 and 2004.

The analyzable data included gender, age, race, stage, presence of extranodal disease, and RT administration.

The 5-year DSS outcomes were highly variable among patient subsets, defined by age, stage, and extranodal disease (range for RT-treated patients, 70% for Stage II, age >60 years to 87% for Stage I, age </=60 years).

CONCLUSION: This analysis presents the largest detailed data set of Stage I-II DLBCL patients.

The development of tailored therapy according to the relapse risk is warranted, rather than uniform treatment of all early-stage DLBCL.

[Title] Management of stage one and two-E gastric large B-cell lymphoma: chemotherapy alone or surgery followed by chemotherapy?

Management of localized primary gastric B lymphoma (PGL) remains controversial.

MATERIALS: Records of all patients with a diagnosis of gastric lymphoma and which were treated in the National Institute of Oncology, between 1999 and 2006, were reviewed and patients fulfilling the following criteria were included in this study: histologically proven large-cell B lymphoma of the stomach; complete clinical information stage I/II disease according to the Musshoff staging; patients who received surgery followed by chemotherapy (group I) or chemotherapy alone (group II).

All clinical and pathological features were similar between the two groups, except that patients of group-I had significantly more stage II disease (P = 0.023) than that of group II.

CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that chemotherapy alone may be a reasonable alternative treatment for stage I/II gastric large-cell lymphoma but this result must be confirmed by prospective randomized clinical trials.

[Transliterated title] Les lymphocytes B dans le syndrome de Gougerot-Sjögren.

CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS: T-cells have long occupied central stage of the debate on the type of lymphocytes involved in the pathogenesis of SS.

Furthermore, increased levels of the B-cell activating factor (BAFF) may be responsible for quantitative and qualitative anomalies of B-cells found in SS such as emergence of self reactive B-cells.

PROSPECTS: Since SS may thus be conceived as a model for B-cell-induced autoimmunity, it is no surprise that B-cell ablative-treatment has proven to be relatively effective in SS.
