RESUMO

Chronic active hepatitis B infection (HBV) has been implicated in lymphomagenesis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Treatment of cancer including NHL with chemotherapy or immunotherapy can lead to HBV reactivation in previously infected patients. Serological testing of HBV prior to initiation of this therapy is recommended by several national and international medical agencies and expert panels. Patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc ab) need to start antiviral therapy with entecavir or tenofovir prior to initiation of chemotherapy or immunotherapy and continue this treatment for 6 to 12 months after completion of cancer therapy to avoid late HBV reactivation. Monitoring of HBV DNA viral load and liver function tests should be done during cancer therapy in infected patients. Hepatitis B infection vaccination resulted in decreases prevalence of HBV virus carriers and decreased incidence of virus-induced malignancies.

RESUMO

Primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is the most common extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma and represents a wide spectrum of disease, ranging from indolent low-grade marginal zone lymphoma or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma to aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The PGL is a relatively rare cancer and easily misdiagnosed due to its unspecific symptoms of the digestive tract. The medical literature and ongoing clinical trials were reviewed on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, and treatment of PGL. Primary gastric lymphoma is an event in the course of cancer with a variable clinical presentation and a wide differential diagnosis. Chronic gastritis secondary to Helicobacter pylori ( H pylori) infection has been considered a major predisposing factor for MALT lymphoma. Magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography have helped in staging of these cancers. The clinical course and prognosis of this disease are dependent on histopathological subtype and stage at the time of diagnosis. A global therapeutic approach to the cure of PGL has completely changed over the past 10 years, including innovative and conservative options to reduce treatment toxicity. Due to the rarity of PGL, many aspects of this neoplasm are still controversial. The incidence of this disease is increasing, making it necessary for clinicians to understand the clinical symptoms, workup, and treatment of these lymphomas.

RESUMO

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a viral infection predominantly seen in patients with HIV infection. However, with the increased use of monoclonal antibodies (MAB) for various lymphoproliferative disorders, we are now seeing this infection in non-HIV patients on drugs such as natalizumab, rituximab, and so on. The aim of this article is to review the relationship between the occurrence of PML and MAB used in the treatment of hematological malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Review of articles from PubMed-indexed journals which study PML in relation to the use of MAB. Relevant literature demonstrated an increased risk of reactivation of latent John Cunningham polyomavirus (JCV) resulting in development of PML in patients on long-term therapy with MAB. The highest incidence of 1 PML case per 1000 treated patients and 1 case per 32 000 was observed in patients treated with natalizumab and rituximab, respectively. Serological and polymerase chain reaction tests for the detection of JCV can be helpful in risk stratification of patients for the development of PML before and during therapy with MAB. Treatment with MAB can result in development of PML. Clinicians should include PML in differential diagnosis in patients treated with these agents if they manifest central nervous system symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The treatment and outcomes of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) continue to evolve. The International Prognostic Score (IPS) is used to predict the survival of patients with advanced-stage HL, but it has not been validated in patients with HIV infection. METHODS: This was a multi-institutional, retrospective study of 229 patients with HIV-associated, advanced-stage, classical HL who received doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) plus combination antiretroviral therapy. Their clinical characteristics were presented descriptively, and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors that were predictive of response and prognostic of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: The overall and complete response rates to ABVD in patients with HIV-associated HL were 91% and 83%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 5 years, the 5-year PFS and OS rates were 69% and 78%, respectively. In multivariate analyses, there was a trend toward an IPS score >3 as an adverse factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.49; P=.15) and OS (HR, 1.84; P=.06). A cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)-positive (T-helper) cell count <200 cells/µL was associated independently with both PFS (HR, 2.60; P=.002) and OS (HR, 2.04; P=.04). The CD4-positive cell count was associated with an increased incidence of death from other causes (HR, 2.64; P=.04) but not with death from HL-related causes (HR, 1.55; P=.32). CONCLUSIONS: The current results indicate excellent response and survival rates in patients with HIV-associated, advanced-stage, classical HL who receive ABVD and combination antiretroviral therapy as well as the prognostic value of the CD4-positive cell count at the time of lymphoma diagnosis for PFS and OS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been associated with the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and can be reactivated in patients being treated for NHL. METHODS: Articles published between 2000 and 2015 that discussed an association between NHL and HBV, mechanisms of HBV induction of NHL, and HBV reactivation in patients with NHL were reviewed and the results compiled to help health care professionals better understand the risk of developing NHL in HBV-seropositive individuals, describe potential etiologies by which HBV infection may lead to lymphomagenesis, and highlight the recent medical literature with respect to the reactivation of HBV in the setting of NHL. RESULTS: An association exists between HBV infection and NHL development. Immunosuppression due to HBV, chronic viral stimulation, and dysregulation of the immune system are possible ways in which lymphoma can develop in patients with HBV infection. All patients being treated with anti-CD20 antibodies or those from or living in HBV-endemic regions should be tested for hepatitis B surface antigen, core antibody, and surface antibody prior to initiating therapy. HBV DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may also be useful in certain cases. Among HBV-seropositive patients or those with detectable HBV DNA, prophylaxis with an antiviral agent should be initiated for 1 year after NHL therapy. HBV DNA PCR monitoring should be undertaken each month during the course of treatment and every 3 months after treatment for a 1-year duration. CONCLUSIONS: Health care professionals should become more comfortable treating these high-risk patients with NHL as they become more informed about potential lymphomagenesis and the reactivation of HBV.

RESUMO

Serum albumin (SA) has been shown to be a prognostic marker in many hematological malignancies and in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) prior to chemo-immunotherapy. SA may be a surrogate for age, comorbid status, and disease severity. Here, we aimed to assess whether SA can be an independent prognostic marker in patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (R-CHOP). Patients who presented at the Moffitt Cancer Center from 2007 to 2010 for DLBCL diagnosis or treatment were identified using our institutional database. Clinical and treatment data were recorded, including SA levels at diagnosis. Survival time was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with Cox proportional hazard model used to identify potential risk factors for time-to-event data. From 295 identified patients, 171 were excluded for not having primary treatment at our institution or not having R-CHOP treatment. In 124 included patients (mean age at diagnosis of 58 years, 91 % Caucasian), 25 % were categorized as poor by the revised International Prognostic Index. Overall and progression-free survival at 4 years were 65 % (95 % CI 57-75) and 58 % (95 % CI 0.49-0.69), respectively. Using multivariate analysis, we found that the hazard index of death of patients with SA ≥3.7 g/dL was 26 % (95 % CI 13-53) of the hazard for those patients who had SA <3.7 g/dL when controlling for the revised International Prognostic Index risk and initial lymphocyte count. Our study shows that SA ≥3.7 g/dL is an independent prognostic marker in DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, nonmalignant clinical entity characterized by a group of clinical symptoms and characteristic pathological features. METHODS: Articles that reviewed tumor biology, clinical features, pathology, and treatment for RDD were identified in a search of the literature for the years 1990 to 2014. The results from this body of literature were reviewed and summarized. RESULTS: Patients with RDD generally present with massive, painless cervical lymphadenopathy, fevers, and elevated inflammatory markers. Extranodal disease is typical, with the most common sites being the skin and the central nervous system. Rarely, the gastrointestinal tract is involved. Immunohistochemistry remains the mainstay of diagnosis with S100 and CD68 positive cells while CD1a will be negative of involved histiocytes. Histologically, the disease shows the classical characteristic finding of emperipolesis. Many patients do not require treatment; however, surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for symptomatic disease. The role of steroids, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy continue to be based on small case series and case reports. CONCLUSIONS: RDD has a variable clinical presentation; therefore, a high degree of suspicion and a thorough pathological review are necessary to diagnose this rare clinical entity. Although some patients will experience spontaneous resolution, others may require surgical resection or steroid therapy and radiation or chemotherapy. Given the rarity of the disease and the lack of a clear therapeutic pathway, referring patients to a tertiary center is recommended for confirming the diagnosis and treatment considerations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dendritic and histiocytic cell neoplasms are rare malignancies that make up less than 1% of all neoplasms arising in lymph nodes or soft tissues. These disorders have distinctive disease biology, clinical presentations, pathology, and unique treatment options. Morphology and immunohistochemistry evaluation by a hematopathologist remains key for differentiating between these neoplasms. In this review, we describe tumor biology, clinical features, pathology, and treatment of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma, indeterminate dendritic cell sarcoma, histiocytic sarcoma, fibroblastic reticular cell tumors, and disseminated juvenile xanthogranuloma. METHODS: A literature search for articles published between 1990 and 2013 was undertaken. Articles are reviewed and salient findings are systematically described. RESULTS: Patients with dendritic cell and histiocytic neoplasms have distinct but variable clinical presentations; however, because many tumors have recently been recognized, their true incidence is uncertain. Although the clinical features can present in many organs, most occur in the lymph nodes or skin. Most cases are unifocal and solitary presentations have good prognoses with surgical resection. The role of adjuvant therapy in these disorders remains unclear. In cases with disseminated disease, prognosis is poor and data on treatment options are limited, although chemotherapy and referral to a tertiary care center should be considered. Excisional biopsy is the preferred method of specimen collection for tissue diagnosis, and immunohistochemistry is the most important diagnostic method for differentiating these disorders from other entities. CONCLUSIONS: Dendritic cell and histiocytic cell neoplasms are rare hematological disorders with variable clinical presentations and prognoses. Immunohistochemistry remains important for diagnosis. Larger pooled analyses or clinical trials are needed to better understand optimal treatment options in these rare disorders. Whenever possible, patients should be referred to a tertiary care center for disease management.

RESUMO

Importance: The longitudinal experience of patients is critical to the development of interventions to identify and reduce financial hardship. Objective: To evaluate financial hardship over 12 months in patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing curative-intent therapy. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted between May 2018 and July 2020, with time points over 12 months. Participants included patients at National Cance Institute Community Oncology Research Program sites. Eligibility criteria included age at least 18 years, newly diagnosed stage I to III CRC, not started chemotherapy and/or radiation, treated with curative intent, and able to speak English. Data were analyzed from December 2022 through April 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point was financial hardship, measured using the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST), which assesses the psychological domain of financial hardship (range, 0-44; higher score indicates better financial well-being). Participants completed 30-minute surveys (online or paper) at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: A total of 450 participants (mean [SD] age, 61.0 [12.0] years; 240 [53.3%] male) completed the baseline survey; 33 participants (7.3%) were Black and 379 participants (84.2%) were White, and 14 participants (3.1%) identified as Hispanic or Latino and 424 participants (94.2%) identified as neither Hispanic nor Latino. There were 192 participants (42.7%) with an annual household income of $60 000 or greater. There was an improvement in financial hardship from diagnosis to 12 months of 0.3 (95% CI, 0.2 to 0.3) points per month (P < .001). Patients with better quality of life and greater self-efficacy had less financial toxicity. Each 1-unit increase in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (rapid version) score was associated with an increase of 0.7 (95% CI, 0.5 to 0.9) points in COST score (P < .001); each 1-unit increase in self-efficacy associated with an increase of 0.6 (95% CI, 0.2 to 1.0) points in COST score (P = .006). Patients who lived in areas with lower neighborhood socioeconomic status had greater financial toxicity. Neighborhood deprivation index was associated with a decrease of 0.3 (95% CI, -0.5 to -0.1) points in COST score (P = .009). Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that interventions for financial toxicity in cancer care should focus on counseling to improve self-efficacy and mitigate financial worry and screening for these interventions should include patients at higher risk of financial burden.

RESUMO

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutation is the third most common EGFR-mutant form, accounting for 10-12% of all EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chemotherapy was the first-line treatment for patients with EGFR ex20ins mutation in the era when EGFR ex20ins tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR ex20ins-TKIs) were inaccessible. Although EGFR ex20ins-TKIs have since then demonstrated certain efficacy, the population benefit rate is not high due to the high cost of the drug and limited benefit to the population. Therefore, the choice of treatment modality when a patient does not have access to EGFR ex20ins-TKIs or are resistant to them remains an avenue worth exploring. Case Description: In this report, we present two cases of patients with lung adenocarcinoma and EGFR ex20ins mutation. The two patients were middle-aged Asian women with no smoking history, and both had one or more metastatic lesions. Both achieved long-term clinical benefit (progression-free survival ≥12 months) after receiving combined treatment, suggesting that this is a promising treatment modality. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report supporting the combination of stereotactic body radiotherapy and apatinib and camrelizumab as an effective treatment strategy in patients with advanced EGFR ex20ins-positive NSCLC who have been previously treated with chemotherapy. The therapy described in this report might serve as a potential alternative approach for clinical oncologists.

RESUMO

The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has increased steadily for the past few decades. Previous studies have suggested an association between blood transfusions and NHL. The main objective of this study was to evaluate this relationship with a meta-analysis of observational studies. A literature search was undertaken, looking for case-control and cohort studies evaluating the risk of developing NHL in persons who received allogeneic blood transfusions; 14 studies were included. Outcome was calculated and reported as relative risk (RR). Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochrane Q and I(2) statistics. Dissemination bias was evaluated by funnel plot visualization and trim-and-fill analysis. Quality assessment was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Our analysis showed a RR of developing NHL of 1.05 (95% CI, 0.89-1.25; P = .42) and 1.34 (95% CI, 1.15-1.55; P < .01) in case-control and cohort studies, respectively. When pooling all studies, RR was 1.2 (95% CI, 1.07-1.35; P < .01). In subset analysis, RR of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) was 1.66 (95% CI, 1.08-2.56; P = .02). The RR of NHL was elevated in both men and women and in persons receiving transfusions either before or after 1992. Blood transfusions appear to increase the risk of developing NHL; however, the risk of CLL/SLL appears higher than for other NHL subtypes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, representing 25% to 35% of new cases annually. The incidence of DLBCL has doubled in the past decades, highlighting the need for more effective treatment regimens. METHODS: This article reviews the current protocols applicable to this aggressive lymphoma and discusses ongoing research that is focusing on molecular diagnostics, prognostic factors have also been defined for DLBCL. RESULTS: Patients with DLBCL vary in clinical presentation, prognosis, and response to current therapies. While current therapy in the rituximab era has led to improved outcomes with reduced toxicity, novel treatment approaches for localized, advanced, and relapsed/refractory DLBCL are being pursued in clinical trials. Several studies have shown promise, such as trials involving proteasome inhibitors, lenalidomide, and antibody drug conjugates. CONCLUSIONS: Recent discoveries in the spectrum of care for patients with DLBCL have prompted a renaissance for personalized cancer medicine and molecularly targeted therapy. Potential targets and novel drug combinations are undergoing continued study in the hope of achieving successful and personalized care of this disease.

RESUMO

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, making up 80-85% of all lung malignancies. It can be further subdivided into different types. The three main subtypes are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Traditionally, NSCLCs have been treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation therapy. However, with the advent of genotype subtype analysis and targeted therapy it has become possible to have individualized treatment options for patients with NSCLC. Case Description: We present a case report of a 68-year-old female with NSCLC. Patient initially only received radiation therapy due to her not being a surgical candidate. While initial treatment was responsive, later imaging showed metastasis of disease. Subsequent genotype analysis of the patient's tumor indicated a MET exon 14 skipping mutation which qualified her for treatment with Capmatinib (Tabrecta). Conclusions: Patients on Capmatinib have minimal side effects and better efficacy than traditional chemotherapy. Patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutations should be considered for Capmatinib therapy.

RESUMO

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequently occurring subtype of lymphoma. Unfortunately, the fundamental processes underlying the pathogenesis of DLBCL remain little understood. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation has been shown to be the most common internal alteration of mRNAs found in eukaryotes, and it is thought to play a key role in cancer pathogenesis. However, the precise relationship between m6A mRNA methylation and DLBCL pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. Methods: The mRNA and protein expression of Wilms tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP) were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis in lymphoma cells lines. The effects of WTAP expression on human lymphoma cells lines were assessed using cell proliferation assays, colony formation assays, and CCK8 assays. The Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database was used to screen candidate gene targets of WTAP. Finally, the regulatory mechanisms of WTAP in DLBCL were investigated using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assays. Results: This study investigated the precise function of WTAP in DLBCL formation. The results demonstrated that the levels of m6A RNA methylation and WTAP expression were both elevated in DLBCL cell lines and tissues. Downregulation of WTAP expression in DLBCL cells caused a reduction in cell growth in a functional sense. WTAP knockdown reduced catenin beta 1 (CTNNB1) m6A methylation and CTNNB1 total mRNA levels. Furthermore, CTNNB1 overexpression eliminated the WTAP-induced reduction of cell growth in DLBCL cells. Conclusions: In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that WTAP promotes DLBCL development via modulation of m6A methylation in CTNNB1.

RESUMO

Background: Lymphopenia at diagnosis is considered a negative prognostic factor for patients with extra-nodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), especially that of the absolute cluster of differentiation 4+ T cell count (ACD4C), which has previously been identified as an independent prognostic factor in other hematologic malignancies. However, there is limited data available regarding the prognostic value of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in ENKTL patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of lymphocyte subsets, especially the ACD4C in ENKTL as a clinical biomarker. Methods: We analyzed the clinical data of 176 patients who met the inclusion criteria in Cancer Center of Integrated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Southern Medical University from 2000 to 2018, including baseline clinical factors and ACD4C detected by flow cytometry, and examined the correlation between the results and clinical parameters and long-term outcomes. Results: The complete response rate of the high ACD4C group was 57.6%, which was significantly higher than that of the low ACD4C group (15.1%, P<0.001). The univariate analysis results showed that at a median follow-up time of 58.2 months, patients with a high ACD4C had significantly superior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (P=0.034 and P=0.001, respectively). The multivariate analysis results revealed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) and the ACD4C were independent prognostic factors for OS [RR (95% CI): 2.288 (1.209-4.328), P=0.011 and RR (95% CI): 2.058 (1.070-3.968), P=0.031, respectively]. ECOG PS was also an independent prognostic factor for PFS [RR (95% CI): 1.858 (1.064-3.244), P=0.029], while ACD4C tended to be independently correlated with PFS (P=0.085). Conclusions: In this large cohort study, we found that the ACD4C was associated with survival outcomes in ENKTL patients. It is a potential biomarker, which may potentially be applied to clinical.

RESUMO

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma continues to be a highly prevalent entity in the general population. Currently, there are multiple treatment schemes based on chemotherapeutic agents with a great success rate. However, there is a non-negligible percentage of patients who may relapse or be refractory. In this sense, new therapeutic options have emerged in the search for adequate responses, such as monoclonal antibodies that target the CD20 molecule. Another valid option is radioimmunotherapy (RIT), which combines using monoclonal antibodies for the specific targeting of malignant cells and radiation to destroy these cells. Despite the promising results that favor RIT in several clinical studies in different target populations and types of NHL, one situation to consider is the association of this therapy and second neoplasms (acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MSD)). In this sense, we have proposed this meta-analysis to analyze the published information and determine the incidence of this association and determine this therapy's safety.

RESUMO

Sarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from the mesenchymal tissues such as striated skeletal and smooth muscles, adipose tissue, bone, cartilage, and synovial tissue. The synovial subset of primary pulmonary sarcoma is very rare and is only described in a handful of cases. Our case describes the diagnostic approach and treatment regimen for a 49-year-old male with no significant past medical history. The diagnosis of a primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma was made through the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), histologic analysis, and immunostaining. The treatment utilized a multimodal approach including resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
