RESUMO
Prompt diagnosis of lymphoma facilitates early treatment and improves outcomes for patients. For non-haemato-oncologists, it is important to have an understanding of how lymphoma can present and the initial work-up. This review is intended to provide clinicians with background to aid clinical decisional making at presentation and when managing treatment related complications. There will be particular emphasis on emergency presentations (tumour lysis syndrome, management of patients with a mediastinal mass, infections in lymphoma patients) and novel treatment options which have unique toxicities often requiring multi-specialty expertise.

Methotrexate (MTX), although an indispensable part of contemporary treatment protocols for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)/lymphomas (LBL) in improving outcomes, can lead to serious neurotoxicity with long-term consequences. The aetiopathogenesis, predisposing factors and treatment for MTX-induced neurotoxicity are not yet well defined. The aim of our study was to detect the incidence, risk factors and to assess the overall outcomes of MTX-induced neurotoxicity among large cohort of paediatric ALL/LBL patients treated on a uniform protocol. We conducted retrospective audit of medical records of 622 consecutive children (≤14 years) diagnosed with ALL and LBL between January 2018 and December 2022 and treated on modified BFM-95 protocol at the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram. Risk factors predisposing to MTX-induced neurotoxicity were identified using binary logistic regression analysis. Forty-three children were diagnosed with MTX-induced neurotoxicity with an incidence rate of 6.9%. More than two-thirds of them had high-grade MTX-induced neurotoxicity CTCAE v5.0 with a median age of 9 years (range: 9 months to 14 years). Almost half of them developed MTX neurotoxicity during Protocol M followed by Phase-Ib consolidation (15%). Majority of these patients (84%, 36/43) were challenged again with MTX, with 11% (4/36) developing recurrence. Fifteen per cent had persistent neurological deficits at last follow-up. Univariate analysis found older age (age > 5 years) (p < 0.001), T-cell phenotype (p = 0.040), tumour lysis syndrome during induction (p < 0.001), baseline renal problems prior to MTX exposure (p < 0.001) and CNS leukaemic involvement (p < 0.003) to be significantly associated with MTX neurotoxicity. On multivariate analysis, older age (>5 years), tumour lysis during induction and CNS leukaemia retained statistical significance (p < 0.05). Methotrexate-induced neurotoxicity during paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma therapy is a transient phenomenon in majority and re-challenge with MTX is generally safe. Older age children who develop tumour lysis during induction and CNS leukaemic involvement are at increased risk for MTX-induced neurotoxicity during ALL/LBL treatment.

BACKGROUND: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncological emergency associated with hematological malignancies or highly proliferative solid tumors, commonly after chemotherapy. It is rarely associated with transient abnormal myelopoiesis. OBSERVATION: We report a rare case of a neonate with transient abnormal myelopoiesis and tumor lysis syndrome, complicated with concomitant heart failure due to an underlying atrioventricular septal defect. Hyperhydration was contraindicated due to heart failure. The patient was managed conservatively with full recovery. CONCLUSION: Tumor lysis syndrome should be suspected in neonates with transient abnormal myelopoiesis with electrolyte abnormalities. Treatment options should be considered carefully for their risks and benefits.

Hematological malignancies may require rapid-onset treatment because of their short doubling time, notably observed in acute leukemias and specific high-grade lymphomas. Furthermore, in targeted onco-hematological scenarios, chemotherapy is deemed necessary as an emergency measure when facing short-term, life-threatening complications associated with highly chemosensitive hematological malignancies. The risks inherent in the disease itself, or in the initiation of treatment, may then require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) to optimize monitoring and initial management protocols. Hyperleukocytosis and leukostasis in acute leukemias, tumor lysis syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation are the most frequent onco-hematological complications requiring the implementation of emergency chemotherapy in the ICU. Chemotherapy must also be started urgently in secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Tumor-induced microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and plasma hyperviscosity due to malignant monoclonal gammopathy represent infrequent yet substantial indications for emergency chemotherapy. In all cases, the administration of emergency chemotherapy in the ICU requires close collaboration between intensivists and hematology specialists. In this review, we provide valuable insights that aid in the identification and treatment of patients requiring emergency chemotherapy in the ICU, offering diagnostic tools and guidance for their overall initial management.

Guidelines recommend rasburicase for high-risk patients to prevent tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). However, little information is available on the incidence and outcome of TLS in AML patients. We analyzed 145 patients with AML who underwent induction therapy before the approval of rasburicase to evaluate the incidence of TLS and the necessity of rasburicase as prophylaxis. Three patients had already developed clinical TLS (CTLS) at diagnosis of AML, and another three developed CTLS after the initiation of chemotherapy. In patients without TLS at diagnosis of AML, the risk for developing TLS was classified as high in 44 patients, intermediate in 41 and low in 57, according to the current guidelines. Allopurinol alone was administered to prevent hyperuricemia in all patients. All three patients who developed CTLS after diagnosis of AML were at high risk of TLS, and had elevated serum creatinine levels and a WBC count greater than 200,000 per microliter at diagnosis of AML. Allopurinol may be insufficient to prevent TLS in high-risk patients with renal dysfunction at diagnosis of AML, especially those with a high tumor burden and a WBC count of 200,000 or more, which indicates that prophylactic administration of rasburicase should be considered.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the epidemiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with lymphoma and to assess the incidence, risk profile of AKI, and effects on renal function in children with lymphoma during their first 30 days of hospitalization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective screen of electronic hospital and laboratory databases to select hospitalized children who were first diagnosed and treated for lymphoma at Beijing Children's Hospital between 2020 and 2021. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. We analyzed the incidence and risk factors for AKI in children with lymphoma during their first 30 days of hospitalization. We also analyzed mortality rate and the incidence of kidney recovery over a 1-year follow-up period. RESULTS: Of the 295 children with lymphoma (which were all non-Hodgkin lymphoma), 42 (16.5%) experienced AKI events during the first their 30 days of hospitalization. The proportion of patients with lymphoma clinical stage 4 was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (66.7 vs. 43.7%, p < 0.05). Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), lung infection, and lymphoma clinical stage were identified as independent risk factors for AKI in children with lymphoma. Severe AKI was associated with TLS, sepsis, and a higher need for intensive care. Over 1-year of follow-up, none of the survivors developed impaired renal function or proteinuria. However, the mortality of children in the AKI group was significantly higher than that in the non-AKI group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: TLS, lung infection, and lymphoma clinical stage were identified as independent risk factors for AKI in children with lymphoma during the first 30 days of hospitalization. Clinicians should increase their awareness of AKI in hospitalized patients with lymphoma.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) involves joint dysfunction of the heart and kidney. Acute forms share biochemical alterations like hyperuricaemia (HU) with tumour lysis syndrome (TLS). The mainstay treatment of acute CRS with systemic overload is diuretics, but rasburicase is used in TLS to prevent and treat hyperuricaemia. An observational, retrospective study was performed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a single dose of rasburicase in hospitalized patients with cardiorenal syndrome, worsening renal function and uric acid levels above 9 mg/dL. Rasburicase improved diuresis and systemic congestion in the 35 patients included. A total of 86% of patients did not need to undergo RRT, and early withdrawal was possible in the remaining five. Creatinine (Cr) decreased after treatment with rasburicase from a peak of 3.6 ± 1.27 to 1.79 ± 0.83 mg/dL, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improved from 17 ± 8 to 41 ± 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 (p = 0.0001). The levels of N-terminal type B Brain Natriuretic Peptide (Nt-ProBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also significantly reduced. No relevant adverse events were detected. Our results show that early treatment with a dose of rasburicase in patients with CRS and severe HU is effective to improve renal function and systemic congestion, avoiding the need for sustained extrarenal clearance, regardless of comorbidities and ventricular function.

BACKGROUND: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a hematologic oncological emergency characterized by metabolic and electrolyte imbalances. On breakdown of tumor cells, enormous amounts of potassium, phosphate, and nucleic acids are released into systemic circulation. TLS mainly occurs during chemotherapy. However, there are rare incidences of spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome (STLS) prior to commencement of therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: In the case being reported, the child had just undergone a biopsy. As the incision was being closed, there was a sudden onset of high fever, arrhythmia, severe hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and acidosis. Following timely symptomatic treatment and continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT), the child's laboratory results improved, and organ function was restored to normal. The final pathological diagnosis confirmed Burkitt lymphoma. The boy is currently on maintenance chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: TLS is a potentially life-threatening complication in hematologic oncology. Several important conclusions can be drawn from this case, reminding clinicians to: (1) be fully aware of the risk factors of TLS and evaluate the level of risk; (2) pay attention to the possibility of STLS during operation, if surgical procedures are necessary and operate with minimal trauma and in the shortest time possibly; (3) take preoperative prophylaxis actively for high-risk TLS patients, including aggressive fluid management and rational use of diuretics and uric-acid-lowering drugs. In addition, this case confirms the effectiveness of CRRT for severe STLS.

Venetoclax is active in both frontline and relapsed/refractory settings for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although the prevalence and severity of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) are well characterized in clinical trials, laboratory and clinical TLS remain relatively unexplored in real-world clinical practice.In this prospective, real-world observational study, we aimed to determine the incidence and outcomes of TLS in patients with CLL receiving venetoclax outside a clinical trial. The study (VeRVe) was conducted in centers in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.Two hundred and thirty-nine patients were treated according to local label with at least one dose of venetoclax. Patient demographics, baseline characteristics, and blood chemistry at baseline were documented, and descriptive statistical analyses were conducted.Seventy eight patients (33%) were treated with venetoclax monotherapy, 101 (42%) with venetoclax in combination with rituximab and 60 (25%) with venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab. In all cases, the TLS risk mitigation strategy adhered to the ramp-up protocol. Median age was 73 years and 66% of patients were male. The majority of patients (75%) had relapsed/refractory CLL, 63/192 (32.8%) patients tested had a del(17p) and 93/134 (69.4%) patients tested had unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region gene (IGHV). Clinical TLS occurred in 5 patients (2.1%) and laboratory TLS occurred in 15 patients (6.3%). Ten patients received specific treatment, of which 6 were hospitalized. There were no deaths due to a TLS event and venetoclax was well-tolerated. Of the 5 clinical TLS events reported, none were fatal or resulted in renal failure (NCT03342144, registered on Nov 10, 2017).

Venetoclax, in combination with hypomethylation agents (HMAs), is a novel treatment for leukemia patients with low chemotherapy tolerance. However, it has been reported to be a risk of causing tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Here we report a rare case of a young adult AML patient who induced TLS after receiving a combination therapy of venetoclax with decitabine (DEC). A 36-year-old male patient presented with an unexplained fever and was diagnosed with AML-M5a. The patient was first treated with a combination of antibiotics, including voriconazole 300â mg Q12h. After the infection was relieved, he was treated with 100â mg venetoclax in combination with 75â mg/m 2 DEC. However, 12â h after the first treatment, he developed diarrhea, fatigue and other symptoms, and the laboratory results were consistent with the laboratory TLS. The patient stopped chemotherapy immediately, and TLS gradually improved after receiving rehydration, diuresis, dialysis and other treatments. Finally, the patient achieved complete remission. Based on the experience of this case and related studies, we recommend the prevention of TLS should not be limited to elderly patients taking venetoclax, and it is equally important in young patients. And reduce the dosage of venetoclax when using azole antifungal drugs.

Venetoclax is a first-in-class B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitor approved as continuous monotherapy and in combination with rituximab as fixed-treatment duration for relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL). DEVOTE was a 24-week, multicenter observational study (NCT03310190) evaluating the safety, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients initiating venetoclax for R/R CLL in Canada. Overall, 89 patients received 1 dose of venetoclax; 80% had prior exposure (42% resistant) to ibrutinib. Biochemical tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) occurred in five patients. We observed differences in hospitalization across Canadian provinces including in patients at low risk for TLS with no clear impact on TLS incidence. Additionally, a rapid and sustained improvement in several domains of HRQoL was observed during venetoclax initiation. Early adoption of venetoclax was mainly for R/R CLL patients with few treatment options; nonetheless, acceptable toxicity and a positive impact on HRQoL were observed.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study is to investigate the laboratory and clinical features of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in childhood non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and to reveal their impact on long term kidney function in survivors. METHODS: Our single-center retrospective study included 107 patients (0-18 years old) with NHL who were admitted and treated at our hospital between 1998 and 2020. The relationship between TLS and age, gender, histopathological subgroup, tumor stage, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level at presentation, bone marrow and kidney involvement were assessed. The long-term renal functions of the patients were investigated. RESULTS: 80.3% of the patients were male with a median age of 9.8 years. The most common detected histopathological subgroup was Burkitt lymphoma. Hyperhydration with or without alkalinisation, and allopurinol were used in first-line treatment and prophylaxis of TLS. Laboratory TLS and clinical TLS was observed in 30.8% and 12.1% of patients, respectively. A significant correlation was found between young age, advanced stage, high LDH level at presentation, and TLS. AKI was observed in 12.1% of the patients. When the glomerular filtration rate values of the patients at the first and last admissions were compared after an average of 6.9 years, a mean decrease of 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 was found. It was not, however, found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Lower age, advanced stage, and high LDH level at presentation were found to be risk factors for TLS in our study. Long-term renal function loss was not observed in the survivors who received early and careful prophylaxis/treatment for TLS. The survivors are still being followed up.

Venetoclax with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) is an important treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy. However, there is limited data on the safety of venetoclax without a dose ramp-up in patients with AML. A retrospective cohort analysis of patients with AML treated with HMA/venetoclax (HMA/Ven) with or without a dose ramp-up, or HMA alone from 6/30/2014-8/22/2022 was conducted. The primary endpoint was the incidence of laboratory and/or clinical tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) by day 10. Of 225 patients, 111 patients received HMA alone or HMA/Ven with a dose ramp-up and 114 received HMA/Ven with no dose ramp-up. The incidence of TLS was similar between the control and no dose ramp-up groups, with rates of 5.4% and 5.3% respectively (p = 0.962). TLS incidence was comparable in patients with and without a dose ramp-up, suggesting that a dose ramp-up may not be mandatory in patients with AML.

BACKGROUND: After C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)-directed radioligand therapy (RLT), lymphoma patients are scheduled for conditioning therapy (CON) followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We aimed to determine whether CXCR4-RLT can achieve bone marrow ablation and direct antilymphoma activity independent from CON/HSCT and also evaluated the safety profile of this theranostic approach in an acute setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: After CXCR4-directed 68 Ga-pentixafor PET/CT, 21 heavily pretreated patients with hematological malignancies underwent CXCR4-directed RLT using 90 Y-pentixather. The extent of myeloablative efficacy was determined by investigating hematologic laboratory parameters before RLT (day -1), at the day of RLT (day 0), 2 days after RLT (day 2), and before CON (median day 10). Serving as surrogate marker of antilymphoma activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were also assessed until CON. We also screened for laboratory-defined tumor lysis syndrome after the Cairo-Bishop definition and recorded acute laboratory adverse events using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. RESULTS: After RLT, we observed a significant decline of leukocyte levels by 79.4% ± 18.7% till CON (granulocytes, drop by 70.3% ± 21%; platelets, reduction by 43.1% ± 36%; P ≤ 0.0005 vs day 0, respectively). After RLT, LDH levels already reached a peak at day 2, which was followed by a rapid decline thereafter (peak vs day of CON, P = 0.0006), indicating that 90 Y-pentixather exhibits direct antilymphoma activity. At day of CON, LDH levels were also significantly lower when compared with day -1 ( P = 0.04), suggestive for durable response mediated by RLT. No patient fulfilled the criteria of tumor lysis syndrome, whereas 25 laboratory adverse events attributable to CXCR4-directed treatment were identified (≥grade 3 in 2/25 [8%]). During further treatment course, all patients (100%) received HSCT. CONCLUSIONS: CXCR4-directed RLT causes effective myeloablation, which allows for HSCT. In addition, it also exerts direct antilymphoma activity independent of subsequent therapeutic steps, whereas safety profile was acceptable.

BACKGROUND: Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency that may occur in any patient with a hematologic malignancy, even prior to initiation of chemotherapy. Spontaneous TLS massive tumor cell destruction with intracellular electrolyte release prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome is a rare presentation, mainly occurring in Acute Leukemia and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a low-risk disease based on TLS risk stratification. To the best of our knowledge, spontaneous TLS in the chronic phase of CML successfully treated with allopurinol and aggressive hydration has yet to be reported in the literature. A case report is described regarding a 67 year old Jamaican female with a history of hypertension who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for 1 day. The patient was found to have leukocytosis to 344,000 with 4% Blasts, hyperuricemia, and acute kidney injury. A peripheral blood smear confirmed the diagnosis of CML. Bone marrow biopsy was performed with evidence of the chronic phase of CML. The patient met clinical criteria for spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome. The patient was started on aggressive intravenous hydration, allopurinol, hydroxyurea and imatinib. Creatinine and uric acid level improved on this regimen within 48 h of initiation.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a potentially fatal oncological emergency that typically develops during the treatment of rapidly proliferating malignancies. It is infrequently reported in solid tumors, such as pulmonary adenocarcinoma. A 59-year-old male patient with shortness of breath presented with a 3.3 cm × 3.0 cm mass in the right upper lobe, along with massive right-sided pleural effusion. A percutaneous needle biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation was made. The patient was treated with afatinib because of the malignant pleural effusion and multiple metastases to the intrathoracic lymph nodes, left scapula, and brain. After 4 days of afatinib treatment, he developed oliguric acute kidney injury and progressively worsening dyspnea. Based on the clinical and laboratory findings, the patient was diagnosed with afatinib-induced TLS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of afatinib-induced TLS in pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
