ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To our knowledge, the different situations of identifying second primary malignant tumors (SPMTs) in lymphoma patients with synchronous solid tumors remain to be comprehensively investigated.METHODS:
We retrospectively collected information pertaining to lymphoma patients with synchronous solid tumors (diagnosed within 6 months) at Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute between 2009 and 2019. The non-parametric Aalen-Johansen estimator was applied to calculate cumulative incidence function in the competing risk model. Furthermore, propensity score-matched analysis was performed to compare survival differences in lymphoma patients with or without synchronous solid tumors.RESULTS:
Thirty-eight patients were enrolled. There were three situations of identifying SPMTs. First, in 15 patients (39.5%), SPMTs were identified before the initiation of any treatment. Among them, priority was given to anti-lymphoma treatment in case of only three patients. Second, in 17 patients (44.7%), SPMTs were unexpectedly detected on surgical specimen assessment; of them, 13 received anti-lymphoma treatment after surgery. Third, in six patients (15.8%), SPMTs were identified after the outset of treatment for the primary tumor; in this population, three of four patients with lymphoma switched toward the treatment plan for SPMTs. The 5-year overall survival was 58.7%. The cumulative incidence function within 5 years was 26.6% for lymphoma and 14.7% for other solid tumors. The early identification of SPMTs was associated with better outcomes (p = 0.048). After balancing the baseline characteristics, no differences in survival were observed between lymphoma patients with and without synchronous solid tumors (p = 0.664).CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study to present the different situations of identifying SPMTs in lymphoma patients with synchronous solid tumors. In only <50% patients, SPMTs were identifiable at baseline. SPMT identification at different situations may make it difficult to choose the optimal therapeutic option, which may consequently impact patient survival.Palavras-chave
