Abstract
PURPOSE Artificial intelligence can reduce the time used by physicians on radiological assessments. For 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-avid lymphomas, obtaining complete metabolic response (CMR) by end of treatment is prognostic. METHODS Here, we present a deep learning-based algorithm for fully automated treatment response assessments according to the Lugano 2014 classification. The proposed four-stage method, trained on a multicountry clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01287741) and tested in three independent multicenter and multicountry test sets on different non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes and different lines of treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers NCT02257567, NCT02500407; 20% holdout in ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01287741), outputs the detected lesions at baseline and follow-up to enable focused radiologist review. RESULTS The method's response assessment achieved high agreement with the adjudicated radiologic responses (eg, agreement for overall response assessment of 93%, 87%, and 85% in ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers NCT01287741, NCT02500407, and NCT02257567, respectively) similar to inter-radiologist agreement and was strongly prognostic of outcomes with a trend toward higher accuracy for death risk than adjudicated radiologic responses (hazard ratio for end of treatment by-model CMR of 0.123, 0.054, and 0.205 in ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers NCT01287741, NCT02500407, and NCT02257567, compared with, respectively, 0.226, 0.292, and 0.272 for CMR by the adjudicated responses). Furthermore, a radiologist review of the algorithm's assessments was conducted. The radiologist median review time was 1.38 minutes/assessment, and no statistically significant differences were observed in the level of agreement of the radiologist with the model's response compared with the level of agreement of the radiologist with the adjudicated responses. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the proposed method can be incorporated into radiologic response assessment workflows in cancer imaging for significant time savings and with performance similar to trained medical experts.

Abstract
Background Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) is a promising treatment for aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The aim of the meta-analysis was to determine the association between metabolic tumor volumes (MTV) derived on positron emission tomography before CAR-T infusion and the survival of patients with NHL. Methods Relevant observational studies pertaining to the purpose of the meta-analysis were obtained through a search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase from inception of the databases to April 1, 2024. The data was combined using a random-effects model that accounted for the potential influence of between-study heterogeneity. Results Fifteen observational studies were included. Pooled results showed that compared to those with a lower MTV, the NHL patients with a higher MTV before CAR-T infusion were associated with a poor progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48 to 2.02, p < 0.001; I2 = 20%) and overall survival (HR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.54 to 2.89, p < 0.001; I2 = 58%). Subgroup analysis showed that the association between MTV and survival of NHL patients after CAR-T was not significantly impacted by study design, methods for determination of MTV cutoff, or analytic models (univariate or multivariate, p for each subgroup all < 0.05). Subgroup analysis suggested a stronger association between MTV and poor survival outcomes in patients with median of lines of previous treatment of 2 or 3 as compared to those of 4 (p for subgroup difference < 0.05). Further meta-regression analyses suggested that the association between MTV and survival was not significantly affected by sample size, age, proportion of men, cutoff value of MTV, follow-up duration, or study quality scores (p all > 0.05). Conclusion A high MTV at baseline is associated with a poor survival of NHL patients after CAR-T. Systematic Review Registration https://inplasy.com/, identifier INPLASY (INPLASY202450069).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the trend of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence and mortality in China from 1990 to 2019, along with assessing the effects of age, period, and cohort, as well as to predict future trends. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 we calculated the estimated annual percentage changes in the incidence and mortality of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Age-period-cohort analysis was used to assess the independent effects of these elements. Incidence and mortality until 2030 were predicted using a Bayesian age-period-cohort approach. RESULTS During 1990-2019, there was a significant increase in the age-standardized incidence and mortality rate in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Strong effects of birth cohort and period on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence and mortality were observed. In terms of prediction, future non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence and mortality in China will continue to increase, while the mortality rate will decrease; for women, both the rates are projected to rise, but they will remain lower than men. CONCLUSIONS Currently, the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma burden is high in China, and it is expected to continue increasing in the future. Policymakers need to prioritize addressing the factors contributing to sex differences in disease burden, including variations in environmental exposures and lifestyles among men and women.

The development of a prediction model based on random survival forest for the prognosis of non- Hodgkin lymphoma: A prospective cohort study in China. Heliyon 2024; 10:e32788. [PMID: 39022101 PMCID: PMC11252655 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objective The pathological staging of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is complex, the clinical manifestations are varied, and the prognosis differ considerably. To provide a useful reference for early detection and effective treatment of NHL, we developed a random survival forest (RSF) prognostic model based on machine learning (ML) algorithms using prospective cohort data collected from Chongqing Cancer Hospital from Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2019 (n = 1449) to compare with the traditional cornerstone method Cox proportional hazards (CPH) model and evaluate the predictability of the model. Methods Patients were randomly split into a training cohort (TC) and validation cohort (VC) based on 65/35 ratio. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to extracted the important features. And the RSF was modeled to explore the prognostic factors impacting the overall survival (OS) of patients with NHLs in the TC and validated in the VC. The C-index, the Integrated Brier Score (IBS), Kaplan-Meir method, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were selected to measure performances and discriminations of the models. In addition, individual survival probability predicted for NHL patients. Results According to the features extracted by LASSO model and univariable Cox model, 16 variables were selected to develop the RSF model with log-rank splitting rule, which were age, ethnicity, medical insurance, Ann Arbor stage, pathology, targeted-therapy, chemo-therapy, peripheral blood neutrophil count to lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), peripheral blood platelet count to lymphocyte count ratio (PLR), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), CD4/CD8, platelet (PLT), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), lymphocyte (LYM), B-symptoms, and (CPR) were important prognostic factors. Compared to the CPH model (C-index = 0.748, IBS = 0.166), the RSF model (C-index = 0.786, IBS = 0.165) is outperformed in predictability and accuracy. The AUC of the RSF model to estimate the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS in TC were 0.847, 0.847, and 0.809, respectively; while those in the CPH were 0.816, 0.803, and 0.750, respectively. Conclusions To provide practical implications for the implementation of individualized therapy, the study constructed a high-performed RSF model and reveal that it outperformed the traditional model CPH. And the RSF model ranked the risk variables. In addition, we stratified the risk of NHL patients and estimated individual survival probability based on the RSF model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounts for 90% of all malignant lymphomas. This study aimed to evaluate the global incidence, mortality, associated risk factors, and temporal trends of NHL by sex, age, and country. METHODS Data from 185 countries globally were used for analysis. NHL incidence and mortality were collected via the GLOBOCAN (2020), CI5 series I-X, WHO mortality database, the Nordic Cancer Registries, and the SEER Program. The WHO Global Health Observatory provided country-level, age-standardized prevalence of lifestyle and metabolic risk factors. Trends were examined and reported based on average annual percentage change (AAPC) calculated using Joinpoint regression analysis. Incidence and AAPC are based on data for the last 10 years across countries. RESULTS Globally, age-standardized incidence and mortality rates for NHL were recorded at 5.8 and 2.6 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. At country-level, NHL incidence was significantly associated with various factors, including HDI (Human Development Index), GDP per capita, prevalence of tobacco and alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia. Rising trend in NHL incidence was observed, with the highest increase recorded in Estonia (AAPCmale = 4.15, AAPCfemale = 5.14), Belarus (AAPCfemale = 5.13), and Lithuania (AAPCfemale = 4.68). While overall NHL mortality has been decreasing, certain populations experienced increased mortality over the decade. In Thailand, AAPC for mortality was 31.28% for males and 30.26% for females. Estonia saw an AAPC of 6.46% for males, while Slovakia experienced an AAPC of 4.24% for females. Colombia's AAPC was 1.29% for males and 1.51% for females. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates a rising trend of NHL incidence over the past decade- particularly in developed countries, older males, and younger populations. Further research should investigate deeper insights into specific etiology and prognosis of NHL across subtypes, and potential contributors towards these epidemiologic trends.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rituximab-based combinations are the standard of care in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). Despite being on market for over 20 years, some of the adverse effects associated with the use of rituximab are not well known. Drug-induced interstitial pneumonitis (DIP) is a potentially fatal complication of the treatment. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) are supportive agents commonly used to prevent neutropenic infections. G-CSF are reported to have pulmonary toxicity, but the risk of DIP is greater when used in combination with other potentially pulmotoxic agents. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reported the G-CSF use and risk of DIP in 234 DLBCL patients and 87 FL patients receiving R-CHOP-type immunochemotherapy. RESULTS In 72% of patients, the treatment included a G-CSF support. The overall incidence of treatment-induced pneumonitis was 6.9% in this patient group. All the DIP cases (n = 16) were among patients receiving G-CSF support (p = 0.03). Older age (over 60 years) and higher disease stage (Ann Arbor 3-4) also increased the risk of DIP. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the use of G-CSF increases the risk of DIP, when used in combination with rituximab-containing regimen.

Abstract
As the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) incidence patterns generally parallel that for NHL overall. Globally, DLBCL accounts for a third of all NHLs, ranging between 20% and 50% by country. Based on United States (U.S.) cancer registry data, age-standardized incidence rate for DLBCL was 7.2 per 100,000. DLBCL incidence rises with age and is generally higher in males than females; in the U.S., incidence is highest among non-Hispanic whites (9.2/100,000). Like NHL incidence, DLBCL incidence rose in the first half of the 20th century but has largely plateaued. However, there is some evidence that incidence rates are rising in areas of historically low rates, such as Asia; there are also estimates for rising DLBCL incidence in the near future due to the changing demographics in developed countries whose aging population is growing. Established risk factors for DLBCL include those that result in severe immune deficiency such as HIV/AIDS, inherited immunodeficiency syndromes, and organ transplant recipients. Factors that lead to chronic immune dysregulations are also established risk factors, and include a number of autoimmune conditions (eg, Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis), viral infections (eg, HIV, KSHV/HHV8, HCV, EBV), and obesity. Family history of NHL/DLBCL, personal history of cancer, and multiple genetic susceptibility loci are also well-established risk factors for DLBCL. There is strong evidence for multiple environmental exposures in DLBCL etiology, including exposure to trichloroethylene, benzene, and pesticides and herbicides, with recent associations noted with glyphosate. There is also strong evidence for associations with other viruses, such as HBV. Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for nearly a quarter of DLBCLs that develop, but despite recent gains in the understanding of DLBCL etiology, the majority of disease remain unexplained. An understanding of the host and environmental contributions to disease etiology, and concerted efforts to expand our understanding to multiple race/ethnic groups, will be essential for constructing clinically relevant risk prediction models and develop effective strategies for disease prevention.

Decreased lymphoma-related deaths and improved long-term relative survival with radiotherapy for early-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the rituximab era. Radiother Oncol 2023; 188:109902.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the incidence of lymphoma-related death (LRD) and the long-term net survival benefit of radiotherapy (RT) for early-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the rituximab era. METHODS 10,841 adults diagnosed with early-stage DLBCL between 2002-2015 were retrospectively analyzed using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Primary therapy was categorized into combined-modality treatment (CMT, n = 3,631) and chemotherapy alone (n = 7,210). Competing risk analysis was used to evaluate the cumulative incidence of mortality. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance groups. The net survival benefit of RT was estimated through relative survival (RS), standardized mortality ratio (SMR), and transformed Cox regression, while controlling for background mortality. RESULTS Patients initially treated with CMT had a lower cumulative incidence of LRD compared to those who received chemotherapy alone (HR 0.63, 95%CI: 0.57-0.69; P < 0.001). The 10-year overall survival (OS), RS, and SMR for CMT were 66.1%, 85.0%, and 1.71 respectively, which were significantly better than those for chemotherapy alone (53.0%; 69.8%; 2.62; all P < 0.001). IPTW and multivariable analysis revealed that the addition of RT led to better OS (HR 0.67, 95%CI: 0.62-0.71; P < 0.001) and RS (HR 0.69, 95%CI: 0.65-0.74; P < 0.001). Moreover, compared with chemotherapy alone, the benefit of OS and RS for CMT increased over time within 10 years of diagnosis. CONCLUSION RT reduced LRD and improved the long-term net survival in early-stage DLBCL in the rituximab era. Further prospective studies are warranted to assess the specific patient population that would benefit the most from consolidative RT in early-stage DLBCL.

Burden of Illness in Follicular Lymphoma with Multiple Lines of Treatment, Italian RWE Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4403. [PMID: 37686679 PMCID: PMC10486445 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15174403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
This real-world analysis investigated patients with follicular lymphoma in Italy receiving three or more treatment lines (≥3L), focusing on therapeutic pathways with their rebounds on healthcare resource consumptions and costs. Data were retrieved from administrative databases from healthcare entities covering about 13.3 million residents. Adults diagnosed with follicular lymphoma were identified between January 2015 and June 2020, and among them 2434 patients with ≥3L of treatment during the data availability interval (January 2009 to June 2021) were included. Of them, 1318 were in 3L, 494 in 4L and 622 in ≥5L. A relevant proportion of patients (12-32%) switched to a later line within the same calendar year. At 3-year follow-up (median), 34% patients died. Total mean annual expenses were euro 14,508 in the year preceding inclusion and rose to euro 21,081 at 1-year follow-up (on average euro 22,230/patient/year for the whole follow-up), with hospitalization and drug expenses as weightiest cost items. In conclusion, the clinical and economic burden of follicular lymphoma increases along with later treatment lines. The high mortality rates indicate that further efforts are needed to optimize disease management.

HSA Adductomics Reveals Sex Differences in NHL Incidence and Possible Involvement of Microbial Translocation. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2023; 32:1217-1226. [PMID: 37409972 PMCID: PMC10529301 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-23-0231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The higher incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in males is not well understood. Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated as causes of NHL, they cannot be measured directly in archived blood. METHODS We performed untargeted adductomics of stable ROS adducts in human serum albumin (HSA) from 67 incident NHL cases and 82 matched controls from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Italy cohort. Regression and classification methods were employed to select features associated with NHL in all subjects and in males and females separately. RESULTS Sixty seven HSA-adduct features were quantified by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry at Cys34 (n = 55) and Lys525 (n = 12). Three features were selected for association with NHL in all subjects, while seven were selected for males and five for females with minimal overlap. Two selected features were more abundant in cases and seven in controls, suggesting that altered homeostasis of ROS may affect NHL incidence. Heat maps revealed differential clustering of features between sexes, suggesting differences in operative pathways. CONCLUSIONS Adduct clusters dominated by Cys34 oxidation products and disulfides further implicate ROS and redox biology in the etiology of NHL. Sex differences in dietary and alcohol consumption also help to explain the limited overlap of feature selection between sexes. Intriguingly, a disulfide of methanethiol from enteric microbial metabolism was more abundant in male cases, thereby implicating microbial translocation as a potential contributor to NHL in males. IMPACT Only two of the ROS adducts associated with NHL overlapped between sexes and one adduct implicates microbial translocation as a risk factor.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) accounts for ∼20% of all new lymphoma cases. Increases in cytological grade are a feature of the clinical progression of this malignancy, and eventual histologic transformation (HT) to the aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) occurs in up to 15% of patients. Clinical or genetic features to predict the risk and timing of HT have not been described comprehensively. In this study, we analyzed whole-genome sequencing data from 423 patients to compare the protein coding and noncoding mutation landscapes of untransformed FL, transformed FL, and de novo DLBCL. This revealed 2 genetically distinct subgroups of FL, which we have named DLBCL-like (dFL) and constrained FL (cFL). Each subgroup has distinguishing mutational patterns, aberrant somatic hypermutation rates, and biological and clinical characteristics. We implemented a machine learning-derived classification approach to stratify patients with FL into cFL and dFL subgroups based on their genomic features. Using separate validation cohorts, we demonstrate that cFL status, whether assigned with this full classifier or a single-gene approximation, is associated with a reduced rate of HT. This implies distinct biological features of cFL that constrain its evolution, and we highlight the potential for this classification to predict HT from genetic features present at diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Hematological malignancies (HMs) represent a heterogeneous group of diseases with diverse etiology, pathogenesis, and prognosis. HMs' accurate registration by Cancer Registries (CRs) is hampered by the progressive de-hospitalization of patients and the transition to molecular rather than microscopic diagnosis. Material and methods A dedicated software capable of automatically identifying suspected HMs cases by combining several databases was adopted by Reggio Emilia Province CR (RE-CR). Besides pathological reports, hospital discharge archives, and mortality records, RE-CR retrieved information from general and biomolecular laboratories. Incidence, mortality, and 5-year relative survival (RS) reported according to age, sex, and 4 HMs' main categories, were noted. Results Overall, 7,578 HM cases were diagnosed from 1996 to 2020 by RE-CR. HMs were more common in males and older patients, except for Hodgkin Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma (FL). Incidence showed a significant increase for FL (annual percent change (APC)=3.0), Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) in the first period (APC=6.0) followed by a significant decrease (APC=-7.4), and Myelodysplastic Syndromes (APC=16.4) only in the first period. Over the years, a significant increase was observed in 5-year RS for Hodgkin -, Marginal Zone -, Follicular - and Diffuse Large B-cell-Lymphomas, MPN, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The availability of dedicated software made it possible to recover 80% of cases automatically: the remaining 20% required direct consultation of medical records. Conclusions The study emphasizes that HM registration needs to collect information from multiple sources. The digitalization of CRs is necessary to increase their efficiency.

Abstract
Several therapies to improve the management of lymphoma are currently being investigated, necessitating the development of new biomarkers. However, this requires high-quality and clinically annotated biological material. Therefore, we established a lymphoma biobank including all available biological material (tissue specimens and matched biological resources) along with associated clinical data for lymphoma patients diagnosed, according to the WHO classification, between 2005 and 2022 in the Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Pathology, Nice, France. We retrospectively included selected cases in a new collection at the Côte d'Azur Biobank, which contains 2150 samples from 363 cases (351 patients). The male/female ratio was 1.3, and the median age at diagnosis was 58 years. The most common lymphoma types were classical Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT tissue. The main sites of lymphoma were the mediastinum, lymph node, Waldeyer's ring, and lung. The Côte d'Azur Biobank is ISO 9001 and ISO 20387 certified and aims to provide high quality and diverse biological material to support translational research projects into lymphoma. The clinico-pathological data generated by this collection should aid the development of new biomarkers to enhance the survival of patients with lymphoid malignancies.

[PMID: 37337159 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10988-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Published epidemiological studies of haematological cancers are few. Hereby we present a 20-year epidemiological data of haematological cancers in Sarawak from a population-based cancer registry. METHODS Haematological cancer cases with ICD-10 coded C81-C96 and ICD-O coded /3 diagnosed from 1996 to 2015 were retrieved from Sarawak Cancer Registry. Adult was defined as those 15 years and above. Incidence rate (IR) was calculated based on yearly Sarawak citizen population stratified to age, gender, and ethnic groups. Age-standardised IR (ASR) was calculated using Segi World Standard Population. RESULTS A total of 3,947 cases were retrieved and analysed. ASR was 10 and male predominance (IR ratio 1.32, 95%CI 1.24,1.41). Haematological cancers generally had a U-shaped distribution with lowest IR at age 10-14 years and exponential increment from age 40 years onwards, except acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with highest IR in paediatric 2.8 versus adult 0.5. There was a significant difference in ethnic and specific categories of haematological cancers, of which, in general, Bidayuh (IR ratio 1.13, 95%CI 1.00, 1.27) and Melanau (IR ratio 0.54, 95%CI 0.45, 0.65) had the highest and lowest ethnic-specific IR, respectively, in comparison to Malay. The ASR (non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute myeloid leukaemia, ALL, chronic myeloid leukaemia, and plasma cell neoplasm) showed a decreasing trend over the 20 years, -2.09 in general, while Hodgkin lymphoma showed an increasing trend of + 2.80. There was crude rate difference between the 11 administrative divisions of Sarawak. CONCLUSIONS This study provided the IR and ASR of haematological cancers in Sarawak for comparison to other regions of the world. Ethnic diversity in Sarawak resulted in significant differences in IR and ASR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evolving targeted therapy on Janus Associated Kinase-Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway, especially pertaining to STAT-3 protein in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), provides new treatment strategies. STAT-3 protein also relates to the prognostication of NHL. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the expression of STAT-3 protein in NHL cases diagnosed in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). METHODS A retrospective cross sectional study using formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks of 95 NHL cases were obtained. STAT-3 immunostaining was performed and evaluated. The proportion and association between the expression of STAT-3 protein with subtypes of NHL were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The majority of the cases (78.9%) had positive STAT-3 protein expression. 64.2% were among aggressive B cell NHL, whilst 20.0% of them were diffuse large B cell lymphoma, a non-germinal center B subtype (DLBCL-NGCB). There is also an association between STAT-3 protein expression with DLBCL subtypes (p = 0.046). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated a remarkable expression of STAT-3 protein in NHL, in which DLBCL subtypes had significant association. A larger scale study with a combination of JAK protein evaluation should be undertaken in the future.

Abstract
Epidemiologic evidence is limited about associations between T2DM, metformin, and the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We aimed to examine associations between T2DM, metformin, and the risk of NHL in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study. Information on T2DM status (diabetes status/types of antidiabetic drug use/diabetes duration) from study enrollment and during follow-up were assessed. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate associations of T2DM status with risks of overall NHL and its three major subtypes [diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n = 476), follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 301) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL, n = 136)] based on multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. During a median follow-up of 18.86 years (range, 0.01-25.13; SD ± 6.55), a total of 1637 women developed NHL among 147 885 postmenopausal women. Women with T2DM and with self-reported oral medication use had 38% and 55% higher risk of DLBCL, respectively [multivariable-adjusted model HR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.06-1.81) and HR = 1.55, 95% CI (1.16-2.06)] compared to the reference group (nondiabetics/untreated diabetes). Risks of NHL and DLBCL [multivariable-adjusted model: HR = 1.28, 95% CI (1.06-1.54) and HR = 1.56, 95% CI (1.13-2.14), respectively] were significantly higher in associations with relatively short duration (≤7 years) of diabetes, compared to reference group. Additionally, an increased risk of DLBCL [HR = 1.76, 95% CI (1.13-2.75)] was found in metformin users compared to the reference group. Postmenopausal women who had T2DM, who were oral antidiabetic drug users, especially metformin, and who had a shorter diabetes duration may have higher risks of DLBCL. Further well-designed research is needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lymphomas represent around 10% of head and neck neoplasms, among which the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype. In the present study, we characterized demographic parameters, anatomical sites, and survival rates of patients in a Brazilian cancer center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single-center retrospective epidemiological study of 243 head and neck DLBCL patients. Demographic characteristics, tumor localization, HIV status, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and treatment modality were obtained from electronic medical records. RESULTS The most common primary head and neck tumor location in patients with DLBCL was Waldeyer's ring. Interestingly, age above 80 years, male gender, high LDH levels, and HIV positivity were significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) rates and increased risk of death. We further demonstrated that treatment had a protective effect, improving OS, and reducing risk of death. Notably, we found no benefit of combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy versus isolated treatment modalities. CONCLUSION The study showed that primary head and neck DLBCL is more incident in middle age and elderly patients with a small male patients' majority in a Brazilian population. Moreover, we observed a 3-year OS rate of almost 60% and multivariate analysis showed that treatment was the only protective factor.

Abstract
Cutaneous involvement of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is uncommon. We report on a 71-year-old male with a history of CLL of the skin in the distal extremities. The patient presented with eruptions of new lesions on the toes of his feet bilaterally, causing significant pain that limited his mobility. Cutaneous involvement of CLL is a rare presentation, and management recommendations are largely based on case reports with limited follow-up. Furthermore, assessing the duration of response, response rates, and correct sequencing of treatment is difficult due to variable use and doses of treatment. The case was treated in 2001 when newer systemic treatments were not available. Therefore, the results can also be directly related to local treatments. Based on a literature review and this case, this report provides insight into the benefits and risks of local treatment for cutaneous involvement of CLL in the extremities and how radiation can be sequenced with other options such as surgical excision and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the presence of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) in the bone marrow accompanied by a monoclonal immunoglobulin type M (IgM) in the serum. WM was first described only 80 years ago and became reportable in the US as a malignancy in 1988. Very little systematic research was conducted prior to 2000 to characterize incidence, clinical characteristics, risk factors or diagnostic and prognostic criteria, and there were essentially no WM-specific clinical interventional trials. Since the inaugural meeting of the International Workshop in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (IWWM) in 2000, WM has become the focus of a steadily increasing and productive body of research, engaging a growing number of investigators throughout the world. This introductory overview provides summary of the current understanding of the epidemiology of WM/LPL as a backdrop for a series of consensus panel recommendations arising from research presented at the 11th IWWM.

Abstract
Purpose We investigated the prognostic value of maximum tumor dissemination (Dmax), the distance between malignant lesions that were farthest apart, as assessed by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), and other clinical factors in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).We investigated the prognostic value of maximum tumor dissemination (Dmax), the distance between malignant lesions that were farthest apart, as assessed by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), and other clinical factors in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods Patients who underwent FDG PET/CT for initial staging and treatment response evaluation of DLBCL were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline Dmax, maximum standardized uptake value, total summation of all metabolic tumor volumes (tMTV), and total summation of all total lesion glycolysis (tTLG) were measured. The treatment response was evaluated at the interim and end of first-line treatment (EOT) using the Deauville score (DS). FDG PET/CT parameters and other clinical factors including sex, age, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, stage, performance status, and the International Prognostic Index (IPI) were analyzed to identify factors prognostic of the time to progression (TTP) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Results A total of 63 patients were included. Univariate survival analysis identified Dmax (> 275 mm), tMTV (> 180 mL), tTLG (> 1300), interim DS (≥ 4), and EOT DS (≥ 4) as significant predictors of poor TTP. Serum LDH level (> 640 IU/L), IPI (≥ 4), tMTV (> 180 mL), tTLG (> 1300), interim DS (≥ 4), and EOT DS (≥ 4) were significant predictors of DSS. After multivariate survival analysis, Dmax (P = 0.008) and EOT DS (P = 0.005) were independent predictors of TTP. EOT DS was an independent predictor of DSS (P = 0.029). Conclusions Dmax at the time of diagnosis and the EOT response assessed by FDG PET/CT provide useful prognostic information additive to the IPI in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
PURPOSE SHC014748M is a potent, novel selective PI3Kδ isoform inhibitor and is proposed for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, mass balance, metabolism and excretion of SHC014748M in Chinese male subjects following a single oral dose of 150 mg (100 μCi) [14C] SHC014748M. METHODS Six healthy Chinese male subjects administrated an oral suspension of 150 mg (100 μCi) [14C] SHC014748M and the samples of blood, urine and feces were collected for measuring. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and liquid scintillation counter were utilized to obtain mass balance and the pharmacokinetic data. RESULTS The median Tmax for [14C]-radioactivity was 1.6 ± 0.5 h after the oral administration of [14C] SHC014748M and the mean Cmax was 3863 ± 354 ng Eq./mL in plasma, while the mean Cmax, t1/2 values and AUC0-∞ values for total radioactivity in whole blood were 2466 ± 518 ng Eq./mL, 32.2 ± 30.5 h and 66,236 ± 44,232 h * ng Eq./mL, respectively. Fecal excretion was proposed as the predominant elimination route, accounting for a mean of 90.68 ± 11.38% of the administered dose, whereas the mean urine excretion was 6.00 ± 1.48% within 336 h post-dose. The proposed major metabolic pathway of [14C] SHC014748M in the human body were as follows: (I) monooxidation, (II) glucuronide acid conjugation, and (III) monoxide-hydrogenation. CONCLUSIONS SHC014748M was absorbed, metabolized and excreted with unchanged SHC014748M as its main circulating component in plasma following oral administration. In addition, it was speculated that fecal excretion was the principal excretion pathway; meanwhile, monohydroxy, glucuronide conjugation, oxygen, and hydrogenation were the major clearance pathways of SHC014748M through urine and/or feces.

Clinical Presentation, Management, and Evolution of Lymphomas in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An ENEIDA Registry Study. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030750. [PMID: 36765708 PMCID: PMC9913166 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
An increased risk of lymphoma has been described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aims of our study were to determine the clinical presentation, the previous exposure to immunosuppressive and biologic therapies, and the evolution of lymphomas in patients with IBD. IBD patients with diagnosis of lymphoma from October 2006 to June 2021 were identified from the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry of GETECCU. We identified 52 patients (2.4 cases of lymphoma/1000 patients with IBD; 95% CI 1.8-3.1). Thirty-five were men (67%), 52% had ulcerative colitis, 60% received thiopurines, and 38% an anti-TNF drug before lymphoma diagnosis. Age at lymphoma was lower in those patients treated with thiopurines (53 ± 17 years old) and anti-TNF drugs (47 ± 17) than in those patients not treated with these drugs (63 ± 12; p < 0.05). Five cases had relapse of lymphoma (1.7 cases/100 patient-years). Nine patients (17%) died after 19 months (IQR 0-48 months). Relapse and mortality were not related with the type of IBD or lymphoma, nor with thiopurines or biologic therapies. In conclusion, most IBD patients had been treated with thiopurines and/or anti-TNF agents before lymphoma diagnosis, and these patients were younger at diagnosis of lymphoma than those not treated with these drugs. Relapse and mortality of lymphoma were not related with these therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are hematologic malignancies of the lymphatic system with increased prevalence in young adults. Numerous studies have examined the health-related quality of life dimensions in young adults with lymphoma; yet, limited research has investigated the experiences of this population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( n = 8) receiving acute treatment from one National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center in the Northeastern United States. METHODS A qualitative interpretive phenomenological study design and method was applied to explore the lived experiences of young adults with lymphoma during acute survivorship. RESULTS The participants lived experiences were shaped by the diagnostic challenges and impediments of cancer and lymphoma in young adults. Through postdiagnosis, they were determined to safeguard parents and close family members from the burden of cancer. The bonds between medical oncologists and nurses offered the participants a dynamic structure to endure acute survivorship. CONCLUSION Cancer was challenging to diagnose in this sample of young adults with lymphoma. The presence of nurses was shown to be deeply impactful for young adults with lymphoma. More research is necessary to understand the experiences of young adults with lymphoma through extended or long-term survivorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Healthcare providers require additional education regarding the diagnostic guidelines in young adult patients with lymphoma. This study underscores the importance of well-defined and structured postdiagnosis survivorship care in young adults with lymphoma.

Abstract
Obesity, which is considered a pandemic due to its high prevalence, is a risk factor for many types of cancers, including lymphoma, through a variety of mechanisms by promoting an inflammatory state. Specifically, over the last few decades, obesity has been suggested not only to increase the risk of lymphoma but also to be associated with poor clinical outcomes and worse responses to different treatments for those diseases. Within the extensive range of proinflammatory mediators that adipose tissue releases, leptin has been demonstrated to be a key adipokine due to its pleotropic effects in many physiological systems and diseases. In this sense, different studies have analyzed leptin levels and leptin/leptin receptor expressions as a probable bridge between obesity and lymphomas. Since both obesity and lymphomas are prevalent pathophysiological conditions worldwide and their incidences have increased over the last few years, here we review the possible role of leptin as a promising proinflammatory mediator promoting lymphomas.

[PMID: 35695282 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
We evaluated the global patterns of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 2020 using the estimates of NHL incidence and mortality in 185 countries that are part of the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, developed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). As well as new cases and deaths of NHL, corresponding age-standardized (world) rates (ASR) of incidence and mortality per 100 000 person-years were derived by country and world region. In 2020, an estimated 544 000 new cases of NHL were diagnosed worldwide, and approximately 260 000 people died from the disease. Eastern Asia accounted for a quarter (24.9%) of all cases, followed by Northern America (15.1%) and South-Central Asia (9.7%). Incidence rates were higher in men than in women, with similar geographical patterns. While the incidence rates were highest in Australia and New Zealand, Northern America, Northern Europe and Western Europe (>10/100 000 for both sexes combined), the highest mortality rates (>3/100 000) were found in regions in Africa, Western Asia and Oceania. The large variations and the disproportionately higher mortality in low- and middle-income countries can be related to the underlying prevalence and distribution of risk factors, and to the level of access to diagnostic and treatment facilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are a heterogeneous group of clonal lymphoid tumours originating from lymphocytes. They constitute about 90% of an estimated 3%-4% worldwide distribution of malignant lymphomas among various cancers. Despite the continuous rise and associated deaths, research on NHLs, and in particular the area of immunophenotypic spectrum is limited in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS A retrospective, descriptive study in which archived tissue blocks of histologically diagnosed NHLs at a tertiary hospital in Accra, Ghana, were used. Antigenic phenotypes were determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS A total of 66 cases of NHLs, with a mean age of 50.2 ± 16.1 years, were selected for the study. Among the targeted markers, cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20) was the most commonly expressed in 89.4% (59) cases. Immunohistochemistry studies revealed a greater proportion of B cell lymphomas of 89.4%. Five subtypes were successfully identified, of which diffuse large B cell lymphoma constitutes the predominant group (40.9%). A significant association was observed between phenotypic cell types and outcomes of NHLs (p = 0.011). CONCLUSION Adult NHLs were mostly due to the malignant transformation of B cells with diffuse large B cell lymphoma being the commonest subtype. The present study therefore serves as preliminary data for further research towards the adoption of an improved treatment regimen and management of NHLs.

Abstract
Background The distribution of lymphoma subtypes differs strikingly by geographic variations. However, there is limited information on this research in northern Iran. This study aims to evaluate the incidence, subtype, age, sex, and extranodal distribution of lymphomas diagnosed according to the latest WHO classification in a large referral center in northwest Iran. Methods In a retrospective study, the medical records of all patients with a diagnosis of lymphoma made between 2018 and 2021 were retrieved from the pathology archive of Imam Reza Medical Center, Tabriz. Lymphoma diagnosis was also made based on the appreciation of morphologic and immunophenotypic features and genetic characteristics in the context of clinical presentation. Results This study includes a total of 659 patients with lymphoma diagnosed from 2018 to 2021. The number of lymphoma patients were increased each year, with 51 (7.7%), 96 (14.6%), 244 (40.7%), and 268 (40.7%) reported from 2018 to 2021, respectively. 59% of the patients were men. The participants’ mean age was 50.5 ± 19.8 years, while the mean age at diagnosis was 49.3 ± 19.6 years. 2.1% were precursor lymphoid neoplasm, 61.6% were mature B cell neoplasm, 8.8% were mature T cell neoplasm, and 27.5% were Hodgkin lymphoma. The most prevalent subtype of mature B-cell lymphoma was DLBCL (55.1%), followed by SLL (18.7%). Extranodal involvement was seen in 40.5% of all cases. Conclusion The subtype distribution of lymphomas in northwest Iran is reported and compared with studies all over the world and inside Iran.

[DOI: 10.1007/s12185-022-03450-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
AbstractThe selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase δ inhibitor zandelisib demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy [objective response rate (ORR) 79%] in patients with B-cell malignancies in a phase 1b study in the US and Switzerland. In this phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT03985189), 9 Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (R/R iNHL) received zandelisib on a continuous daily schedule (45 or 60 mg) until progressive disease/unacceptable toxicity. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. At a median follow-up of 17.5 months, Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred in 2 or more patients were neutrophil count decreased (55.6%; 5/9) and diarrhea (33.3%; 3/9). Immune-related toxicities, including hepatobiliary disorder, aspartate/alanine aminotransferase increased, diarrhea/colitis, organizing pneumonia, stomatitis, and rash, led to zandelisib discontinuation in 4 patients. The investigator-assessed ORR, based on modified Lugano criteria, was 100%, including 2 complete responses (22.2%; in follicular lymphoma patients receiving 60 mg/day). Median duration of response, progression-free survival, and time to response were 7.9, 11.1, and 1.9 months, respectively. Zandelisib demonstrated a manageable safety profile at 60 mg, the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Japanese patients. The RP2D resulted in favorable pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor efficacy in Japanese patients with R/R iNHL.Trial registration. NCT03985189 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meat, fish, and fatty acid intakes have been reported to be associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), although results have been inconclusive. We hypothesized that red meat and SFA intakes increase NHL risk, and fish and PUFA intakes decrease NHL risk. OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between NHL incidence and meat, fish, and various fatty acid type intakes using the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. METHODS The current cohort study included 93,366 participants aged 45-74 y who were eligible for analysis; they were followed up until December 2012. Participants answered an FFQ between 1995 and 1999. We analyzed the effects of meat, fish, total fatty acid, SFA, and PUFA intakes on NHL incidence using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The median age was 57 y (IQR: 51-63 y), and 46.5% of the participants were men. Participants were followed up for 1,345,001 person-years, and 230 patients with NHL were identified. Total fatty acid and SFA intakes were associated with an increased incidence of NHL, with an adjusted HR of 1.56 (95% CI: 1.04, 2.34 highest compared with lowest quartile; P-trend = 0.062), and 1.63 (95% CI: 1.11, 2.41; P-trend = 0.074), respectively. In subtype analysis, total fatty acid and SFA intakes were also associated with increased incidence of follicular lymphoma but were not significantly associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conversely, total meat, processed meat, unprocessed meat, red meat, poultry, fish, MUFA, PUFA, n-3 (ω-3) PUFA, and n-6 (ω-6) PUFA intakes were not significantly associated with the incidence of NHL or its subtypes. CONCLUSIONS Total fatty acid and SFA intakes were associated with increased incidence of NHL in the Japanese adult population. Further large-scale studies are warranted to test whether fatty acid intakes affect the development of NHL.

Abstract
Mature B-cell neoplasms are typically divided into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. Hodgkin Lymphoma is characterized by the neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells, usually harbored in an inflammatory background, with a frequent clinical presentation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Many studies link between autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis, a large proportion of these studies evidently trace the pathogenesis back to the misdirected detection of self-derived nucleic acids by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), especially those of the intracellular type. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between a selected SNP in TLR9 (TLR9-1237T>C; rs5743836) and the risk and overall survival of HL patients in a Jordanian Arab population. A total of 374 subjects; 136 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma and 238 matched healthy controls were incorporated in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Genotyping of the genetic polymorphisms was conducted using a sequencing protocol. The results show a statistically significant higher distribution of the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) allele among the case population, with a p-value of 0.031 (<0.05). This distribution proved significant when studied in the codominant (only significant in the T/C genotype, p-value = 0.030), dominant (p-value = 0.025), and overdominant (p-value = 0.035) models. None of the models showed any statistically significant difference in survival associated with the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) SNP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) in women undergoing routine breast cancer screening (BCS). BCS can reveal pathologies other than carcinoma that involve the breast and lymph tissue. The few studies that have described cases in which BCS led to the diagnosis of LPD were based on small series and focused on imaging rather than clinical characteristics. SETTING AND METHODS A multi-center retrospective study in Israel, investigating LPD rate and characteristics among women diagnosed with LPD via BCS. RESULTS Thirty-four patients out of 14,400 consecutive women undergoing BCS at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center during the study period were diagnosed with LPD, suggesting a diagnosis rate of 0.24%. The enlarged cohort (n = 45), including 11 patients that were retrieved from the databases of three other centers, demonstrates a predominant histological diagnosis of non-aggressive LPD (n = 33). Thirty-four (76%) had a suspicious axillary lymph node, and 11 had a breast lesion. The median maximal lesion size was 1.95 cm (range 0.8-6.5). Disease was localized in 60% of patients (stage 1 and 1E). Univariate analysis revealed that lymphocyte count was inversely associated with aggressive histology. At median follow-up of 39 months, all but three patients were alive. These three had been diagnosed with non-aggressive LPD which had never been treated and died from unrelated causes. CONCLUSIONS The LPD detection rate via BCS was 2.36 per 1000 screens. The majority of LPDs were non-aggressive. Nearly a third were aggressive, most detected at an early stage, and the clinical outcome was generally favorable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the epidemiology and prognosis of primary ocular adnexal lymphoma (POAL) are scarce for its low occurrence. The goal of our research was to assess the epidemiologic characteristics, prognostic variables and survival of POAL patients. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to collect data on patients identified with POAL from 1975 to 2011 and the incidence rate of POAL from 1975 to 2017. To discover independent predictive markers for overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), multivariable Cox regression analysis was utilised. The independent prognostic factors found by multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to generate a nomogram. RESULTS A total of 2839 patients were diagnosed with POAL, with an average age of 64.1 years. The total incidence of POAL was 2.51/1000000 (according to the overall adjustment of the 2000 American standard) from 1975 to 2017, and the annual percentage change (APC) was 2.47 (95% confidence interval 1.64-3.32, p < 0.05), showing a sharp upward trend. After multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, gender, year of diagnosis, marital status, primary site, laterality, pathological type and treatment strategy were evaluated as independent prognostic factors of OS or DSS (p < 0.05). A nomogram was constructed to forecast the DSS of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. The concordance index (C-index) and the calibration plots demonstrated the robustness and accuracy of the nomogram. CONCLUSIONS Although POAL is sporadic, the incidence has generally increased in the past 36 years. In recent years, survival rates have risen, and radiotherapy can render better OS and DSS. The nomogram specially made for POAL is robust and precise in predicting the DSS of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are often the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Strategies targeting TAMs to enable tumor cell killing through cellular phagocytosis have emerged as promising cancer immunotherapy. Although several phagocytosis checkpoints have been identified, the desired efficacy has not yet been achieved by blocking such checkpoints in preclinical models or clinical trials. Here, we showed that late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) was resistant to therapy targeting phagocytosis checkpoint CD47 due to the compromised capacity of TAMs to phagocytose lymphoma cells. Via a high-throughput screening of the US Food and Drug Administration-approved anticancer small molecule compounds, we identified paclitaxel as a potentiator that promoted the clearance of lymphoma by directly evoking phagocytic capability of macrophages, independently of paclitaxel's chemotherapeutic cytotoxicity toward NHL cells. A combination with paclitaxel dramatically enhanced the anticancer efficacy of CD47-targeted therapy toward late-stage NHL. Analysis of TME by single-cell RNA sequencing identified paclitaxel-induced TAM populations with an upregulation of genes for tyrosine kinase signaling. The activation of Src family tyrosine kinases signaling in macrophages by paclitaxel promoted phagocytosis against NHL cells. In addition, we identified a role of paclitaxel in modifying the TME by preventing the accumulation of a TAM subpopulation that was only present in late-stage lymphoma resistant to CD47-targeted therapy. Our findings identify a novel and effective strategy for NHL treatment by remodeling TME to enable the tumoricidal roles of TAMs. Furthermore, we characterize TAM subgroups that determine the efficiency of lymphoma phagocytosis in the TME and can be potential therapeutic targets to unleash the antitumor activities of macrophages.

Abstract
Purpose: To describe the cancer incidence burden and trends among adolescent and young adults (AYAs) in Alberta, Canada over a 35-year period. Methods: We obtained data from the Alberta Cancer Registry on all first primary cancers, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, diagnosed at ages 15-39 years among residents in Alberta from 1983 to 2017. Cancers were classified by using Barr's AYA cancer classification system. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) and the average annual percentage change (AAPC) in incidence rates were calculated. Statistically significant changes in the AAPC during the study period were assessed using Joinpoint regression. Results: Overall, 23,652 incident cases of AYA cancer were diagnosed in Alberta. Females accounted for ∼60% of the diagnoses. AYA cancer increased significantly over the study period overall (AAPC: 0.5%; 95%CI: 0.3%-0.7%), for each sex (AAPCmale: 0.7%; 95%CI: 0.4%-0.9%; AAPCfemale: 0.4%; 95%CI: 0.2%-0.6%), and among male and female 20-39 year-olds. Although statistically significant increases were observed in 11 out of 29 cancer sites for at least a portion of the study period, with significant AAPCs ranging from 0.8% (95%CI: 0.01%-1.5%) to 6.6% (95%CI: 4.6%-8.5%), the main driver was thyroid cancer (AAPC: 3.7%; 95%CI: 3.2%-4.2%). Statistically significant decreases were observed for six cancer sites, with AAPCs ranging from -6.4% (95%CI: -8.7% to -4.1%) to -1.1% (95%CI: -1.8% to -0.5%). Conclusions: There is a growing cancer burden among AYAs in Alberta, which is driven primarily by thyroid cancer and early-onset cancers in males. These results highlight the need for etiological studies and tertiary strategies to prevent and mitigate morbidity and mortality in the AYA population.

Abstract
Background Rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) has been used to treat patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) under National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme in Indonesia. This study aims to estimate its cost-effectiveness and budget impact. Methods We conducted a cost utility analysis using Markov model over a lifetime horizon, from a societal perspective. Clinical evidence was derived from published clinical trials. Direct medical costs were gathered from hospital data. Direct non-medical costs, indirect costs, and utility data were primarily gathered by interviewing the patients. We applied 3% discount rate for both costs and effect. All monetary data are converted into USD (1 USD = IDR 14,000, 2019). Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was performed. In addition, from a payer perspective, budget impact analysis was estimated using price reduction scenarios. Results The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of R-CHOP was USD 4674/LYG and 9280/QALY. If we refer to the threshold three times the GDP per capita (USD 11,538), R-CHOP could thus be determined as a cost-effective therapy. Its significant health benefit has contributed to the considerable ICER result. Although the R-CHOP has been considered a cost-effective intervention, the financial consequence of R-CHOP if remain in benefit package under National Health Insurance (NHI) system in Indonesia is considerably substantial, approximately USD 35.00 million with 75% price reduction scenario. Conclusions As a favorable treatment for DLBCL, R-CHOP ensures value for money in Indonesia. Budget impact analysis provides results which can be used as further consideration for decision-makers in matters related to benefit packages.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cancer and associating clinical, immunological, and genetic factors in a German cohort of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Methods In this retrospective monocenter cohort study, we estimated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) for different forms of cancer diagnosed in CVID patients. Furthermore, we evaluated the likely association of infectious and non-infectious CVID-related phenotypes with the diagnosis of cancer by calculation of the odds ratio. The genetic background of CVID in patients with cancer was evaluated with sequential targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES). Patients’ family history and WES data were evaluated for genetic predisposition to cancer. Results A total of 27/219 patients (12.3%) were diagnosed with at least one type of cancer. Most common types of cancer were gastric cancer (SIR: 16.5), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) (SIR: 12.7), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (SIR: 12.2). Immune dysregulation manifesting as arthritis, atrophic gastritis, or interstitial lung disease (ILD) was associated with the diagnosis of cancer. Furthermore, diagnosis of NMSC associated with the diagnosis of an alternative type of cancer. Studied immunological parameters did not display any significant difference between patients with cancer and those without. tNGS and/or WES yielded a definite or likely genetic diagnosis in 11.1% of CVID patients with cancer. Based on identified variants in cancer-associated genes, the types of diagnosed cancers, and family history data, 14.3% of studied patients may have a likely genetic susceptibility to cancer, falling under a known hereditary cancer syndrome. Conclusions Gastric cancer, NMSC, and NHL are the most frequent CVID-associated types of cancer. Manifestations of immune dysregulation, such as arthritis and ILD, were identified as risk factors of malignancy in CVID, whereas studied immunological parameters or the identification of a monogenic form of CVID appears to have a limited role in the evaluation of cancer risk in CVID.

Abstract
Simple Summary Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is difficult to diagnose and has a high mortality rate. Large-scale database research is necessary to examine and strengthen the correlation between viral hepatitis and NHL. This retrospective cohort study analyzed differences in the risk of developing NHL for patients with hepatitis to elucidate these relationships by using nationwide data from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database. In this study, the incidence rate of NHL in patients with hepatitis B was 0.22%, and in patients with hepatitis C, the incidence rate of NHL was 0.35%. These comparisons indicate that patients with HBV or HCV have a higher incidence of NHL (OR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.93–2.91). Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are associated with an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); however, adequate data corroborating these associations are lacking. Therefore, a study based on the national database was performed to investigate the correlation between HBV and HCV with NHL in Taiwan. This research was a retrospective cohort study using a nationally representative database established by the Health and Welfare Data Science Center of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan. The participants were patients with HBV and HCV, analyzed using the propensity score matching method. The study results indicated that the incidence rate of NHL (0.13%) was significantly higher than that in patients from the general population. After controlling related variables, the hazard ratio (HR) of the incidence of NHL in patients with hepatitis was 2.37 (95% CI, 1.93–2.91). Furthermore, the incidence of NHL in patients with HBV was significantly higher than in patients from the general population (HR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.94–3.19). The incidence of NHL in patients with HCV was significantly higher than in patients from the general population (HR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.73–3.22). This study indicated that HBV and HCV significantly increase the risk of NHL.

A Phase II Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Dual mTORC1/2 and PI3K Inhibitor Bimiralisib (PQR309) in Relapsed, Refractory Lymphoma. Hemasphere 2021; 5:e656. [PMID: 34901759 PMCID: PMC8660000 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Bimiralisib is an orally bioavailable pan-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor which has shown activity against lymphoma in preclinical models. This phase I/II study evaluated the response rate to bimiralisib at 2 continuous dose levels (60 mg and 80 mg) in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma. Fifty patients were enrolled and started treatment. The most common histologies were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 17), follicular lymphoma (n = 9), T-cell lymphoma (n = 8), and others (mostly indolent). Patients had been treated with a median of 5 prior lines of treatment and 44% were considered refractory to their last treatment. Mean duration of treatment (and standard deviations) with 60 mg once daily (o.d.) was 1.3 ± 1.2 months, and with 80 mg o.d. 3.7 ± 3.9 months. On an intention to treat analysis, the overall response rate was 14% with 10% achieving a partial response and 4% a complete response. Thirty-six percent of patients were reported as having stable disease. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed during the phase I portion of the study. Overall, 70% of patients had a grade 3 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) and 34% had a grade 4 TEAE; 28% of patients discontinued treatment due to toxicity. The most frequent TEAEs grade ≥3 was hyperglycemia (24%), neutropenia (20%), thrombocytopenia (22%), and diarrhea (12%). Per protocol, hyperglycemia required treatment with oral antihyperglycemic agents in 28% and with insulin in 14%. At 60 mg or 80 mg continuous dosing, bimiralisib showed modest efficacy with significant toxicity in heavily pretreated patients with various histological subtypes of lymphoma.

[PMID: 34737339 PMCID: PMC8569019 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00811-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
L-type neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is a heterodimeric membrane transport protein involved in neutral amino acid transport. LAT1 is highly expressed in various malignant solid tumors and plays an essential role in cell proliferation. However, its role in malignant lymphoma remains unknown. Here, we evaluated LAT1 expression level in tissues from 138 patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Overexpression of LAT1 was confirmed in all types of NHL and we found that there is a significant correlation between the level of LAT1 expression and lymphoma grade. The LAT1 expression was higher in aggressive types of lymphomas when compared with static types of lymphomas, suggesting that active tumor proliferation requires nutrient uptake via LAT1. The expression level of LAT1 was inversely correlated with patients’ survival span. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of LAT1 by a specific inhibitor JPH203 inhibits lymphoma cell growth. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that LAT1 expression can be used as a prognostic marker for patients with NHL and targeting LAT1 by JPH203 can be a novel therapeutic modality for NHL.

No Association Observed Between Coffee Intake and Risk of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma among Postmenopausal Women. J Acad Nutr Diet 2021; 122:1725-1736. [PMID: 34737090 DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2021.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Some preliminary studies indicate that components in coffee may have anticarcinogenic effects. However, the association between coffee-drinking habits and the risk of NHL remain controversial. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between coffee intake and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) incidence in a large prospective study of postmenopausal US women. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS/SETTING The participants included 74,935 women from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS) who were recruited from 1993 through 1998. Information about coffee-drinking habits was collected at baseline via self-administered questionnaires. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Newly diagnosed NHL was validated by medical records and pathology records. Separate analyses were performed for the following three subtypes of NHL: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL (n=244)), follicular lymphoma (FL (n=166)), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL (n=64)). STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED Age-adjusted and multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine associations of coffee intake (specifically, the total amount of coffee consumed daily, coffee types, and coffee preparation methods) with risk of NHL. RESULTS A total of 851 women developed NHL during a median 18.34 years of follow-up (range, 0.01 to 24.30 years; SD ± 6.63 years). Overall, no associations were observed between coffee intake and risk of NHL regardless of the total amount of daily coffee intake (P-value for trend test = 0.90), caffeinated (P-value=0.55) or decaffeinated coffee intake (P-value=0.78), and filtered or unfiltered coffee intake (P-value=0.91) after controlling for sociodemographic factors, lifestyle risk factors, and clinical risk factors/current medical conditions. No significant associations were observed between coffee intake with specific subtypes of NHL. A statistically significant interaction was found between alcohol intake, coffee intake, and incident NHL (P-value for interaction=0.02) based on the adjusted analysis. Specifically, among women who frequently consumed alcohol (>7 drinks/week), those who had moderate coffee intake (2-3 cups coffee/day) had a significantly reduced risk of developing NHL (HR:0.61, 95%CI: 0.36-0.98), compared to those who did not drink coffee. CONCLUSION The findings from this study do not support an association between coffee consumption and NHL risk, irrespective of the total amount of daily coffee intake, coffee types, or coffee preparation methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cluster of differentiation 274 (CD274) antigen has been investigated in tumors to evaluate its regulation and effect as a predictive of targeted therapy. Its expression and effect in lymphoma have raised interest recently. However, results were mixed and showed wide variations.
AIM: This study aims to explore and compare CD274 antigen immunohistochemical expression in tumor and peri-tumor cells of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and diffuse large B cells non-HL (NHL) and its relation with clinicopathological criteria.
METHODS: This work was carried out on 78 cases of lymph node excision biopsy (48 HL and 30 NHL). Prepared sections were applied for immunohistochemistry using CD274 monoclonal rabbit anti-human (programmed cell death protein 1 [PD-L1] ZR3-ASR, a Sigma Aldrich company). Assessment of CD274 antigen in tumor cells was considered positive if detected in >10% (membranous staining with cytoplasmic accentuation). Peri-tumor cells were scored as: 0, no positive cells/high-power field (HPF); 1, <10 positive cells/HPF; 2, 10–30 positive cells/HPF; 3, >30 positive cells/HPF.
RESULTS: CD274 antigen was expressed in 53.8% of total lymphoma cases with significantly more expression of CD274 antigen in HL than NHL (66.7% vs. 33.3%). Classic HL showed significantly higher expression of CD274 antigen in tumor and peri-tumor cells and significant association with elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and lactate dehydrogenase and male gender.
INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION: There is a more frequent and significant expression of CD274 antigen in classic HL than NHL cases in tumor and peri-tumor cells and a significant association with bad prognostic criteria in classic HL. High expression of CD274 antigen in classic HL proposes its potential use as a marker, especially for prognostic indication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphomas are ranked as the fifth most common cancer in Lebanon. There is concern about the need of information regarding the prevalence of lymphoid neoplasm particularly Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes in the Lebanese population. This study intended to establish a descriptive status of NHL histological subtypes distribution in Lebanon thus identifying the most common types, knowing that the literature is poor regarding the distribution of lymphoid malignancies particularly NHLs in Lebanon. METHODS A bicenter retrospective descriptive study was performed. Patients aged above 18, diagnosed with NHL between January 1984 and March 2019 and registered in two Lebanese Medical centers were included in this study; 699 medical files were reviewed and the baseline characteristics of the disease were collected. Histological classification was based on the Working Formulation (WF) and World Health Organization (WHO) classification systems, whereas staging was based on the Ann Arbor system. Disease status was monitored with imaging studies. RESULTS The mean age at diagnosis was 53.52 ± 17.46 years in the studied population, with 380 (54.4%) males and 319 (45.6%) females. B-cell lymphoma (BCL) accounted for 86.3% while T-cell neoplasms accounted for 13.7%. The most common subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (54%) followed by follicular lymphoma (FL) (17.2%). Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) represented 3% of all BCL and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) comprised less than 2%. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and Burkitt's lymphomas represented 3 and 1.7% respectively. 36.5% of the patients had extranodal disease at diagnosis. High-grade tumor represented 80.1% with 33.1% stage IV disease. CONCLUSION These observations indicate that the epidemiological patterns of NHLs in Lebanon were comparable to Western countries. Aggressive lymphomas account for the majority of NHLs in Lebanon.

Abstract
Objective Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). The aim of this study was to assess the clinico pathological characteristics of DLBCL specifically, among the affected individuals residing in Northern areas of Pakistan who had not been previously included in major lymphoma studies due to their remote location. Results Mean age of the patients was 49.7 years. Male: female ratio was 1.5:1. Primary site was lymph node in 99 (71.74%) patients, out of which, 36 (26.09%) patients had B symptoms and 19 (13.77%) patients had stage IV disease. 39 (28.26%) patients had primary extra nodal involvement, 4 (2.90%) patients had B symptoms and 3 (2.17%) had stage IV disease. Extra nodal sites involved in primary extra nodal DLBCL were gastrointestinal tract (GIT) 19 (48.72%), tonsils 6 (15.38%), spine 4 (10.26%), soft tissue swelling 3 (7.69%), parotid gland 2 (5.13%), thyroid 2 (5.13%) central nervous system (CNS) 1 (2.56), breast 1 (2.56%) and bone marrow 1 (2.56%). Our study revealed increased percentage of patients with nodal DLBCL in stage IV and with B symptoms. Few patients with primary extra nodal DLBCL had B symptoms and stage IV disease at presentation. GIT was the most common site of involvement in primary extra nodal DLBCL. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13104-021-05768-5.

Abstract
The influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on access to standard chemotherapy and/or monoclonal antibody therapy, and associated secular trends, relative survival, and excess mortality, among diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients is not clear. We conducted a Hong Kong population-based cohort study and identified adult patients with histologically diagnosed DLBCL between 2000 and 2018. We examined the association of SES levels with the odds and the secular trends of receipt of chemotherapy and/or rituximab. Additionally, we estimated the long-term relative survival by SES utilizing Hong Kong life tables. Among 4017 patients with DLBCL, 2363 (58.8%) patients received both chemotherapy and rituximab and 740 (18.4%) patients received chemotherapy alone, while 1612 (40.1%) and 914 (22.8%) patients received no rituximab or chemotherapy, respectively. On multivariable analysis, low SES was associated with lesser use of chemotherapy (odd ratio [OR] 0.44; 95% CI 0.34-0.57) and rituximab (OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.32-0.52). The socioeconomic disparity for either treatment showed no secular trend of change. Additionally, patients with low SES showed increased excess mortality, with a hazard ratio of 2.34 (95% CI 1.67-3.28). Improving survival outcomes for patients with DLBCL requires provision of best available medical care and securing access to treatment regardless of patients' SES.

Variation of Cancer Incidence between and within GRELL Countries. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18179262.

Abstract
Variation in cancer incidence between countries and groups of countries has been well studied. However cancer incidence is linked to risk factors that may vary within countries, and may subsist in localized geographic areas. In this study we investigated between- and within-country variation in the incidence of all cancers combined for countries belonging to the Group for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration in Latin Language Countries (GRELL). We hypothesized that investigation at the micro-level (circumscribed regions and local cancer registry areas) would reveal incidence variations not evident at the macro level and allow identification of cancer incidence hotspots for research, public health, and to fight social inequalities. Data for all cancers diagnosed in 2008–2012 were extracted from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vol XI. Incidence variation within a country or region was quantified as r/R, defined as the difference between the highest and lowest incidence rates for cancer registries within a country/region (r), divided by the incidence rate for the entire country/region × 100. We found that the area with the highest male incidence had an ASRw 4.3 times higher than the area with the lowest incidence. The area with the highest female incidence had an ASRw 3.3 times higher than the area with the lowest incidence. Areas with the highest male ASRws were Azores (Portugal), Florianopolis (Brazil), Metropolitan France, north Spain, Belgium, and north-west and north-east Italy. Areas with the highest female ASRws were Florianopolis (Brazil), Belgium, north-west Italy, north-east Italy, central Italy, Switzerland and Metropolitan France. Our analysis has shown that cancer incidence varies markedly across GRELL countries but also within several countries: the presence of several areas with high cancer incidence suggests the presence of area-specific risk factors that deserve further investigation.
