Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between obesity and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) was controversial, which may be due to the crudeness definition of obesity based on body mass index (BMI). As obesity and metabolic abnormalities often coexist, we aimed to explore whether the classification of obesity based on metabolic status can help to evaluate the real impact of obesity on the readmission of NHL. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, utilizing the 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified NHL-related index hospitalizations and followed them for non-elective readmission. The patients with NHL were classified as metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO) and obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO) and obese (MUO). Readmission rates for each phenotype were calculated at 30-day intervals. Multiple COX regression was used to analyze the association of metabolic-defined obesity with 30-day, 90-day, and 180-day readmission rates in patients with NHL. RESULTS There were 22,086 index hospitalizations with NHL included. In the multivariate COX regression, MUNO was associated with increased 30-day (HR = 1.113, 95% CI 1.036-1.195), 90-day (HR = 1.148, 95% CI 1.087-1.213), and 180-day readmission rates (HR = 1.132, 95% CI 1.077-1.189), and MUO was associated with increased 30-day (HR=1.219, 95% CI: 1.081-1.374), 90-day (HR = 1.228, 95% CI 1.118-1.348), and 180-day readmission rates (HR = 1.223, 95% CI 1.124-1.33), while MHO had no associations with readmission rates. CONCLUSIONS The presence of metabolic abnormalities with or without obesity increased the risk of non-selective readmission in patients with NHL. However, obesity alone had no associations with the risk of non-selective readmission, suggesting that interventions for metabolic abnormalities may be more important in reducing readmissions of NHL patients.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1195907. [PMID: 37680722 PMCID: PMC10482088 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1195907] [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: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The role of body mass index (BMI) in the treatment outcomes of lymphoma patients is controversial. While investigating the efficacy of ABVD-like regimen in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, we observed that obese patients had poor responses. To better understand this clinical phenomenon, we evaluated the effect of BMI on responses to ABVD-like chemotherapy in HL patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical outcomes of all 67 patients with confirmed HL who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from November 2016 to March 2023 with an ABVD-like regimen as first-line chemotherapy. Baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared across different BMI categories. The primary end-point was the overall response rate defined as the proportion of the HL patients who achieved complete response or partial response. The additional end-points included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: The median age of the HL patients was 31 years old. Of the patients, 10.4% were obese, and 17.9% patients were overweight. Interim and end-term response evaluations revealed overall response rates of 98.5% and 83.6%, respectively. The proportion of patients with potential poor prognostic factors (IPS risk factors) did not differ significantly in the responders versus non-responders. However, non-responders had a higher average BMI when compared with responders (p = 0.002). Poor overall response rates in higher BMI patients indeed manifested with shorter progression free survival (p = 0.013). The minimum relative dose of the ABVD-like regimen in the overweight and obese groups was significantly lower than in the normal weight group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our analyses show that >80% of newly-diagnosed HL patients responded to the ABVD-like regimen. We find that being obese or overweight at the time of diagnosis correlated with a poorer overall response rate and that BMI was an independent risk factor in HL patients treated with the ABVD-like regimen. Lower doses of ABVD-like regimen contributed to the discrepant findings of responses in the high BMI groups. These findings indicate that newly-diagnosed, obese HL patients receiving an ABVD-like regimen require personalized treatment.

Abstract
The prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is not clear in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study was designed to analyze the GNRI in DLBCL patients and to investigate its prognostic value in DLBCL. The archive records of DLBCL patients between 2008 and 2020 at the Akdeniz University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 206 patients with DLBCL were recruited and classified into two GNRI-based groups based on nutrition status. The GNRI cut off value was determined by ROC analysis. In the univariate Cox regression analysis for overall survival (OS), age, lactate dehydrogenase, B symptoms, infiltration of bone marrow, and the GNRI were determined as prognostic factors for mortality. The OS of patients with a GNRI ≤104.238 was significantly lower than that of patients with a GNRI >104.238 (p = 0.001). The progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with GNRI ≤104.238 was significantly lower compared to the patients with GNRI >104.238 (p = 0.010). Based on the results of the present study with a relatively large hospital-based cohort, the GNRI can be recommended for use as an independent prognostic marker for OS and PFS in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
In many cancers, including lymphoma, males have higher incidence and mortality than females. Emerging evidence demonstrates that one mechanism underlying this phenomenon is sex differences in metabolism, both with respect to tumor nutrient consumption and systemic alterations in metabolism, i.e., obesity. We wanted to determine if visceral fat and tumor glucose uptake with fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) could predict sex-dependent outcomes in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We conducted a retrospective analysis of 160 patients (84 males; 76 females) with DLBCL who had imaging at initial staging and after completion of therapy. CT-based relative visceral fat area (rVFA), PET-based SUVmax normalized to lean body mass (SULmax), and end-of-treatment FDG-PET 5PS score were calculated. Increased rVFA at initial staging was an independent predictor of poor OS only in females. At the end of therapy, increase in visceral fat was a significant predictor of poor survival only in females. Combining the change in rVFA and 5PS scores identified a subgroup of females with visceral fat gain and high 5PS with exceptionally poor outcomes. These data suggest that visceral fat and tumor FDG uptake can predict outcomes in DLBCL patients in a sex-specific fashion.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a disease of older adults, with a median age at diagnosis of 67 years. Treatment in older adults with NHL is challenging. The aging process is associated with a decline in functional reserve that varies among individuals, and results in an increasing risk of treatment-related toxicity and mortality. Chronological age and performance status fail to capture the multidimensional and heterogeneous nature of the aging process. A geriatric assessment (GA) screens multiple geriatric domains and provides a more accurate assessment of functional reserve. Several abbreviated GA tools have been developed for use in oncology clinics and help identify patients at high risk for chemotherapy-related toxicity and mortality. In this review, we explore GA tools validated for use in patients with NHL. We discuss the evidence behind GA-guided treatment in NHL and present a suggested approach to assessing frailty in this patient population.

Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed perirenal and subcutaneous fat thickness and their dynamics from baseline to end-of-treatment computerized-tomography scans in a cohort of 118 newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients with unfavorable features treated with R-DA-EPOCH regimen. Higher revised-international-prognostic-index (R-IPI) score was significantly associated with higher baseline perirenal and lower subcutaneous fat thickness. Up to 51% patients experienced perirenal and 40% subcutaneous fat-tissue loss during immunochemotherapy period. R-DA-EPOCH feasibility, toxicity and obtained response to therapy did not significantly differ regarding baseline perirenal and subcutaneous fat measurements whereas higher number of febrile-neutropenia cycles was associated with more pronounced subcutaneous fat loss. In multivariate-analyses subcutaneous fat loss of ≥6% (hazard-ratio (HR) =4.58, p < 0.001) and achieving response to therapy (HR = 0.03, p < 0.001) predicted overall-survival, and baseline subcutaneous fat thickness ≤24 mm (HR = 3.14, p = 0.023), baseline minimal perirenal fat thickness ≤8 mm (HR = 2.44, p = 0.042) and achieving response to therapy (HR = 0.04, p < 0.001) predicted progression-free-survival independently of each other.

Abstract
Objective Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent B-cell malignancy, usually treated by immunochemotherapy in advanced-stage and high-tumor-burden cases. Although some reports have shown no significant relationship between the pre-treatment body mass index (BMI) and the overall survival (OS) in FL, little is known regarding BMI changes during chemotherapy. We analyzed the impact of a BMI decrease during chemotherapy on the OS in FL patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 56 patients with untreated advanced FL who underwent chemotherapy at our institute between July 2009 and December 2020. The BMI change was defined based on the BMI before and at three months after the first chemotherapy session. The cut-off for a BMI decrease was set at 1.42 kg/m2 according to the receiver operating characteristics curve for the OS. We compared the survival outcome between two BMI groups based on this cut-off. Results A BMI decrease was significantly associated with a worse OS (5-year OS: 86.7% vs. 60.5%, p=0.019), although the pre-treatment BMI showed no significant relationship with the survival. The adverse impact of a BMI decrease remained in a multivariate analysis for the OS (hazard ratio, 3.972; p=0.045). The decreased-BMI group tended to show a higher cumulative incidence of early-onset histological transformation (HT) than the non-decreased-BMI group (20% vs. 0.0%). A BMI decrease during chemotherapy in previously untreated FL patients might reflect the hyperactivation of tumor-induced metabolism related to HT. Conclusion A BMI decrease during chemotherapy might be an independent adverse prognostic factor in FL patients. BMI changes in addition to the condition of FL patients should be monitored during chemotherapy.

Abstract
The impact of body mass index (BMI) on survival in lymphoma remains controversial. We leveraged a prospective cohort of lymphoma patients enrolled to SPORE Molecular Epidemiology Resource between 2002 and 2015 to assess the association of BMI before diagnosis, BMI at diagnosis, and BMI change over time with lymphoma-specific survival (LSS). A total of 4009 lymphoma patients (670 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 689 follicular lymphoma (FL), 1018 chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), and 1632 other subtypes) were included. Significantly shorter LSS after diagnosis was observed for FL patients who were obese before diagnosis (HR: 3.02, 95%CI: 1.43-6.41, p=.004) and for those with a ≥ 5% increase in BMI from diagnosis to 3-year follow-up (HR: 3.53, 95%CI: 1.22-10.2, p=.020). In contrast, obesity prior to or at the time of diagnosis was not associated with LSS in DLBCL and CLL/SLL. The impact of weight control after diagnosis in FL patient warrants investigation.

Low Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Is Associated with Poorer Prognosis in Elderly Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients Unfit for Intensive Anthracycline-Containing Therapy: A Real-World Study. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13093243.

Abstract
Nutritional assessments, including the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), have emerged as prediction tools for long-term survival in various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic strategy and explore the prognostic factors in the elderly patients (≥65 years) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The cutoff value of the GNRI score (92.5) was obtained using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Among these patients (n = 205), 129 (62.9%) did not receive standard R–CHOP chemotherapy. Old age (≥80 years), poor performance status, low serum albumin level, and comorbidities were the major factors associated with less intensive anti-lymphoma treatment. Further analysis demonstrated that a lower GNRI score (<92.5) was linked to more unfavorable clinical features. In the patients who received non-anthracycline-containing regimens (non-R–CHOP), multivariate analysis showed that a low GNRI can serve as an independent predictive factor for worse progression-free (HR, 2.85; 95% CI, 1.05–7.72; p = 0.039) and overall survival (HR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.02–8.90; p = 0.045). In summary, nutritional evaluation plays a role in DLBCL treatment and the GNRI score can serve as a feasible predictive tool for clinical outcomes in frail elderly DLBCL patients treated with non-anthracycline-containing regimens.

Abstract
Aim: To identify risk factors and establish a concise prognostic scoring system in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: A total of 131 DLBCL patients were enrolled with long-term follow-up who were treated in Shengjing Hospital of the China Medical University. The relationship between clinical parameters and outcomes was analyzed. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that patient age, BMI, CA125 and rituximab application were independent risk factors. Thereafter, a concise scoring system was established, and the new system could identify high-risk patients (p < 0.0001). The patients were divided into three groups: low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk groups. There were significant differences among different groups on overall survival and progression-free survival by log-rank test (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Old age, low BMI, high CA125 and no rituximab application were independent risk factors for DLBCL. The new established prognostic score system, which includes all the risk factors, could identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
Baseline CT scans of 116 patients (48% female, median 64 years) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were retrospectively reviewed to investigate the prognostic role of sarcopenia and fat compartment distributions on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and early therapy termination. Skeletal muscle index (SMI), skeletal muscle density (SMD), and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) were quantified at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) and proximal thigh (PT). Low L3-SMD, but not low L3-SMI, was associated with early therapy termination (p = 0.028), shorter OS (HR = 6.29; 95% CI = 2.17-18.26; p < 0.001), and shorter PFS (HR = 2.42; 95% CI = 1.26-4.65; p = 0.008). After correction for sex, International Prognostic Index (IPI), BMI, and R-CHOP therapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone), low L3-SMD remained associated with poor OS (HR = 3.54; 95% CI = 1.10-11.40; p = 0.034) but not with PFS. Increased PT-IMAT was prognostic for poor OS and PFS after correction for sex, IPI, BMI, and R-CHOP therapy (HR = 1.35; CI = 1.03-1.7; p = 0.03, and HR = 1.30; CI = 1.04-1.64; p = 0.024, respectively). Reduced muscle quality (SMD) and increased intermuscular fat (IMAT), rather than low muscle quantity (SMI), are associated with poor prognosis in DLBCL, when measured at the L3 level, and particularly at the level of the proximal thigh. The proximal thigh represents a novel radiological landmark to study body composition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide recommendations for appropriate dosing of systemic antineoplastic agents in obese adults with cancer. METHODS A systematic review of the literature collected evidence regarding dosing of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies in obese adults with cancer. PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, or cohort studies published from November 1, 2010, through March 27, 2020. ASCO convened an Expert Panel to review the evidence and formulate recommendations. RESULTS Sixty studies, primarily retrospective, were included in the review. Overall, the evidence supported previous findings that obese adult patients tolerate full, body-size-based dosing of chemotherapy as well as nonobese patients. Fewer studies have addressed the dosing of targeted therapies and immunotherapies in relation to safety and efficacy in obese patients. RECOMMENDATIONS The Panel continues to recommend that full, weight-based cytotoxic chemotherapy doses be used to treat obese adults with cancer. New to this version of the guideline, the Panel also recommends that full, approved doses of immunotherapy and targeted therapies be offered to obese adults with cancer. In the event of toxicity, the consensus of the Panel is that dose modifications of systemic antineoplastic therapies should be handled similarly for obese and nonobese patients. Important areas for future research include the impact of sarcopenia and other measures of body composition on optimal antineoplastic dosing, and more customized dosing based on pharmacokinetic or pharmacogenetic factors.Additional information is available at www.asco.org/supportive-care-guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some studies on the relation between body mass index (BMI) and outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remain controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of DLBCL in overweight (≥25 to <30 kg/m2), obese (≥30 kg/m2) and underweight (<18.5 kg/m2) individuals compared with normal weight patients (≥18.5 to <25 kg/m2). METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify relevant studies before February 20, 2020. The summary hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for analyzing survival outcomes. RESULTS Fourteen articles involving 8,753 subjects were included. The pooled analysis indicated that OS of overweight group (HR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.95, P = 0.002) was better than of normal weight group, but no association was found in obese patients (HR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.81-1.53, P = 0.501). Similarly, obese and overweight status had no significant impact on PFS in DLBCL. Underweight patients had poorer OS (HR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.45-2.74, P < 0.001) and PFS (HR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.12-2.83, P = 0.014) compared with normal weight group. CONCLUSION Overweight patients have a better survival than normal weight patients, while underweight patients have a poorer survival in DLBCL.

Clinical impact of controlling nutritional status score on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Hematol Oncol 2020; 38:309-317. [PMID: 32223021 DOI: 10.1002/hon.2732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a nutritional index calculated from serum albumin and total cholesterol levels and lymphocyte counts. Its role in predicting clinical outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not been evaluated. In this retrospective study, data from 476 patients with DLBCL were analyzed. The cutoff value of the CONUT score was set as 4. CONUT score significantly stratified the overall survival (OS) and the progression-free-survival (PFS) (5-year OS, 49.0% vs 83.2%, P < .001; 5-year PFS, 46.1% vs 73.1%, P < .001) of the patients. Among patients at high-intermediate or high risk, as per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI), 5-year OS was lower in patients with high CONUT scores than in those with low CONUT scores (high-intermediate risk, 51.2% vs 75.5%, P < .001; high risk, 29.9% vs 63.3%, P = .007). Additionally, in patients with high CONUT scores, maintenance of relative dose intensity (RDI) of chemotherapy did not affect the 5-year OS (RDI > 80% vs RDI ≤ 80%: 59.8% vs 50.9%, P = .73). In the present study, we have demonstrated that the CONUT score is an independent prognostic factor in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Background Systemic inflammation and cachexia are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is one of the main parameters used to assess these conditions, but its efficacy in DLBCL is inconclusive. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 228 DLBCL patients who were treated with R-CHOP immunochemotherapy (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). The patients were stratified according to GNRI score (> 98, 92 to 98, 82 to < 92, and < 82) as defined in previous studies. Additionally, the extent of sarcopenia was categorized as sarcopenia-both, sarcopenia-L3/PM alone, and non-sarcopenia-both according to skeletal muscle index. Results Survival curves plotted against a combination of GNRI and sarcopenia scores revealed two clear groups as follows: high cachexia risk (HCR) group (GNRI < 82, sarcopenia-both, or GNRI 82–92 with sarcopenia-L3/PM alone) and low cachexia risk (LCR) group (others). The HCR group had a lower complete response rate (46.5% vs. 86.6%) and higher frequency of treatment-related mortality (19.7% vs. 3.8%) and early treatment discontinuation (43.7% vs. 8.3%) compared with the LCR group. The median progression-free survival (PFS) (not reached vs. 10.3 months, p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (not reached vs. 12.9 months, p < 0.001) were much shorter in the HCR group than in the LCR group. On multivariable analyses, the HCR group was shown to be an independent negative prognostic factor for PFS and OS after adjusting the National Comprehensive Cancer Network-International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI). Conclusions A combined model of GNRI and sarcopenia may provide prognostic information independently of the NCCN-IPI in DLBCL.

Abstract
Oncologic patients often suffer from malnutrition which in turn, might have negative impact on treatment outcomes. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), as an index of impaired nutritional status, has emerged as a significant prognostic factor for short-and long-term outcomes in cancer patients. The aim of the current systematic review is to determine whether the GNRI is an independent prognostic factor of postoperative complications and survival in cancer patients. A systematic search was conducted to identify studies, published from 2005 to 2019, which assessed associations between GNRI and short- and long-term outcomes in cancer patients. Eighteen studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis. Low scores of GNRI were associated with increased risk for developing postoperative complications and impaired survival of cancer patients in most studies. Our findings support the use of the GNRI in the clinical practice, since it is a simple and reliable tool for assessing nutritional status in oncologic patients. More prospective, multi-centered studies are warranted to confirm the current results, as well as the role of nutritional support in improving the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity increases the risk for many diseases, including some malignancies. We found that in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, patients with higher body mass index had significantly longer overall survival. Patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma usually have worse outcomes than those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Nonetheless, the association between body mass index at diagnosis and survival in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma remains unclear. METHODS This retrospective study included 411 peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients from January 2010 to July 2017. Patients were stratified by body mass index into low body mass index (<24.0 kg/m2) and high body mass index (≥24.0 kg/m2) groups. We mainly used Cox modelling and the Kaplan-Meier method to evaluate survival and other variables. RESULTS Multivariate analysis demonstrated that body mass index, international prognostic index and triglyceride level were independent prognostic factors of overall survival. Interestingly, patients with high body mass index had significantly longer overall survival (P < 0.01), with 69% of patients alive at 3 years versus 43% in the low body mass index group. Cox analysis showed reduced mortality in the high body mass index group compared with the low body mass index group (hazard ratio = 0.511, 95% CI, 0.309-0.846, P = 0.009). In addition, patients with high body mass index and low international prognostic index had the longest overall survival (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS High body mass index at the time of diagnosis was associated with improved overall survival in Chinese peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients.

Abstract
The association between obesity and survival in non-Hodgkin lymphoma is unclear. Using the Ontario Cancer Registry we conducted a retrospective analysis of incident cases of aggressive-histology B-cell lymphoma treated with a rituximab-containing regimen with curative intent between 2008-2016. 6246 patients were included. On multivariable analysis the rate of all-cause mortality was lower for the overweight body mass index (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2) (HR 0.85; 95%CI 0.77-0.95) and obese BMI (≥30 kg/m2) (HR 0.75; 95%CI 0.67-0.85) groups compared to the normal weight group (18.5-24.9 kg/m2). Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed a lower odds ratio (OR) of admission to hospital during treatment in the overweight (OR 0.84; 95%CI 0.75-0.95) compared to normal weight BMI group. In the largest cohort to date of aggressive-histology B-cell lymphoma patients treated with rituximab, increased BMI is associated with a survival advantage, and the magnitude of this effect increases from overweight to obese BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The role of body mass index (BMI) in lymphoma survival outcomes is controversial. The prognostic significance of BMI in extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is unclear. We evaluated the prognostic role of BMI in patients with ENKTL. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 742 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL. The prognostic value of BMI was compared between patients with low BMIs (< 20.0 kg/m2) and patients with high BMIs (≥ 20.0 kg/m2). The prognostic value of the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and the Korean Prognostic Index (KPI) was also evaluated and compared with that of the BMI classification. RESULTS Patients with low BMIs tended to exhibit higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) scores (≥ 2) (P = 0.001), more frequent B symptoms (P < 0.001), lower albumin levels (P < 0.001), higher KPI scores (P = 0.03), and lower rates of complete remission (P < 0.001) than patients with high BMIs, as well as inferior progression-free survival (PFS, P = 0.003), and inferior overall survival (OS, P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age > 60 years, mass > 5 cm, stage III/IV, elevated LDH levels, albumin levels < 35 g/L and low BMIs were independent adverse predictors of OS. The BMI classification was found to be superior to the IPI with respect to predicting patient outcomes among low-risk patients and the KPI with respect to distinguishing between intermediate-low- and high-intermediate-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS Higher BMI at the time of diagnosis is associated with improved overall survival in ENKTL. Using the BMI classification may improve the IPI and KPI prognostic models.

Abstract
The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple and well-established nutritional assessment tool that is a significant prognostic factor for various cancers. However, the role of the GNRI in predicting clinical outcomes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients has not been investigated. To address this issue, we retrospectively analyzed a total of 476 patients with newly diagnosed de novo DLBCL. We defined the best cutoff value of the GNRI as 96.8 using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Patients with a GNRI < 96.8 had significantly lower overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than those with a GNRI ≥ 96.8 (5-year OS, 61.2 vs. 84.4%, P < 0.001; 5-year PFS, 53.7 vs. 75.8%, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that performance status, Ann Arbor stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase, and GNRI were independent prognostic factors for OS. Among patients with high-intermediate and high-risk by National Comprehensive Cancer Network-International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI), the 5-year OS was significantly lower in patients with a GNRI < 96.8 than in those with a GNRI ≥ 96.8 (high-intermediate risk, 59.5 vs. 75.2%, P = 0.006; high risk, 37.4 vs. 64.9%, P = 0.033). In the present study, we demonstrated that the GNRI was an independent prognostic factor in DLBCL patients. The GNRI could identify a population of poor-risk patients among those with high-intermediate and high-risk by NCCN-IPI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Actual weight-based (AWB) chemotherapy dosing is recommended for obese patients in the 2012 ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline. CALGB 49907, which utilized ABW-based adjuvant chemotherapy dosing, was a phase 3 trial in women age≥65years with early stage breast cancer, providing the opportunity to examine impact of such dosing on toxicities and outcome in older patients with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adverse event data were available for 615 of 633 enrolled patients. Objectives were to assess grade≥3 hematologic/non-hematologic toxicities by treatment arm, age, study entry BSA/BMI, and relapse-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) by BSA/BMI. RESULTS The 615 patients were sub-grouped by BSA (quartiles) and standard BMI categories, with BMI underweight/normal weight categories combined. Overall, grade≥3 non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities occurred in 39.8% and 28.3% of patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in grade≥3 toxicities among BSA quartiles. However, more grade≥3 hematologic toxicities occurred in the underweight/normal weight BMI subgroup compared to overweight/obese subgroups (p=0.048). Type of chemotherapy and age had no impact on toxicity occurrence by BSA/BMI categories. RFS was superior in the 25th-50th BSA percentile patients in univariate analysis (p=0.042), as was OS in both univariate and multivariate analyses (p=0.007, p=0.009, respectively). No differences in RFS or OS were found by BMI categories. CONCLUSION Obesity was not correlated with adverse relapse or survival outcome, and grade≥3 toxicities were not greater with ABW-based dosing. This supports safety and efficacy of ABW-based dosing as per the 2012 ASCO clinical practice guideline. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00024102 (49907).

Abstract
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for the development of cancer, but its influence on the course of disease is still controversial. We investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI) on overall survival (OS) in 502 patients with indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma in a subgroup analysis of the StiL (Study Group Indolent Lymphomas) NHL1 trial. We defined a cut-off of 22.55 kg/m2 by ROC calculation and Youden Index analysis and stratified patients into “low BMI” and “high BMI”. Five-year OS was significantly longer in the high BMI group (82.2%) when compared to that of the low BMI group (66.2%) (HR 0.597; 95%CI 0.370–0.963; p = 0.034). BMI was also an independent prognostic factor for OS in multivariate analysis (HR 0.541; 95%CI 0.332–0.883; p = 0.014). Of note, patients had a significantly lower BMI in the presence than patients in the absence of B-symptoms (p = 0.025). BMI significantly impacts on OS in indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma, which may be influenced by the effect of B-symptoms on BMI.

Abstract
Studies that have evaluated the prognostic value of body mass index (BMI) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have recently been reported. However, the impact of BMI on survival outcomes remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 406 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like regimens. The number (%) of patients that were categorized into 1 of 4 groups according to BMI were underweight (<18.5 kg/m2 ), 58 (14.3%); normal weight (≥18.5 to <25 kg/m2 ), 262 (64.5%); overweight (≥25 to <30 kg/m2 ), 75 (18.5%); and obese (≥30.0 kg/m2 ), 11 (2.7%). While the prognosis of overweight patients was good, being similar to that of normal weight, underweight, and obese patients had a worse prognosis (5-y overall survival [OS] was 57.9%, 74.3%, 73.4%, and 40.9% for underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese patients, respectively; P = .004). In multivariate analysis, underweight and obesity were independent prognostic factors for OS compared with normal weight (hazard ratios 2.90 and 5.17, respectively). In elderly female patients (≥70 y), patients with a low BMI (<25 kg/m2 ) had significantly inferior OS than those with a high BMI (≥25 kg/m2 ) (5-y OS, 61.5% vs 85.7%; P = .039). In contrast, in young female patients (<70 years), patients with a low BMI had significantly better OS than those with a high BMI (5-y OS, 88.6% vs 46.4%; P < .001). In male patients, there were no differences in the effect of BMI on OS between young and elderly patients. In this study, we demonstrated that being underweight and obese were independent prognostic factors compared with being normal weight. In female patients, BMI had a different impact on the prognosis of young and elderly patients, whereas in male patients, there was no difference in the effect of BMI on prognosis according to age.

Abstract
A solid body of knowledge indicates that overweight and obese subjects are prone to develop cancer, aggressive disease, and death more than their lean counterparts. While obesity has been causally associated with various cancers, only a limited number of studies beheld the link with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Contemporary meta-analysis and prospective studies confirmed the association of body mass index with HL. Besides epidemiological evidence, excess adiposity is known to influence tumor behavior through adipokines, adipose-derived stem cell migration, and metabolism regulation, and by modulating immunoinflammatory response. Nevertheless, the obesity paradox has been described in few cancers. Considering that adipose tissue is an immunomodulatory organ, and that inflammation is the cornerstone of HL pathophysiology, the rationale for being causally related due to endocrine/paracrine interactions cannot be negligible. In this hypothesis-generating review, we explore the biologically plausible links between excess adiposity and HL in light of recent basic and clinical data, in order to create a basis for understanding the underlying mechanisms and foster applied research. The establishment of an association of excess adiposity with HL will determine public health preventive measures to fight obesity and eventually novel therapeutic approaches in HL patients.

Abstract
The potential role of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) as a prognostic factor in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with frontline rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) immunochemotherapy was explored. Total adipose tissue and VAT were measured by analyzing positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images obtained during the initial staging of patients with DLBCL. The VAT ratio was calculated as follows: VAT ratio = VAT area/total adipose tissue area. Body mass index (BMI), sex, and International Prognostic Index (IPI) were also incorporated as co-variates in the final model of multivariate Cox regression analysis for survival. A total of 156 patients with DLBCL, who were treated with frontline R-CHOP, were enrolled in our study. The median patient age was 61 years, and 81 patients were male (51.9 %). The median cycle of R-CHOP was six. The IPI risk group was a strong prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001). Obese BMIs were an independent prognostic factor for PFS, but not for OS in multivariate analyses, compared to patients with normal BMIs (HR = 0.43, 95 % CI = 0.19-0.98, and p = 0.046 for PFS). A high VAT ratio (third tertile) was an independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS and OS in multivariate analyses (HR = 2.87 and 2.66, 95 % CI = 1.30-6.32 and 1.30-5.44, and p = 0.009 and 0.007 for PFS and OS, respectively). VAT ratio was an independent prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL treated with first-line R-CHOP; thus, additional large prospective studies are warranted.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma is recognized as a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies; two main subtypes germinal center B and activated B cells are well defined although 15% of patients remain with unclassifiable disease. R-CHOP treatment has proven to provide very effective results in limited or advanced stage of the disease. However, treatment solely involving R-CHOP submits the patient to possible chemotherapy-induced toxicities, which may be avoided with the use of radiotherapy. Patients with early stage localized disease or who are particularly unresponsive to chemotherapy may be more suitable for mixed modality treatment with R-CHOP and consolidative radiotherapy. Although radiotherapy is being slowly phased out by other treatment strategies including chemotherapy and therapeutic drugs, it is still a highly important method of treatment. The different forms of radiotherapy can be used alongside these "new-age" treatment strategies to further improve prognostic outcomes and overall survival rates. The establishment of radiotherapy as a treatment strategy provides a highly beneficial prognostic advantage in early stage, localized disease.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for 30-40% of newly diagnosed cases. Obesity is a well-defined risk factor for DLBCL. However, the impact of body mass index (BMI) on DLBCL prognosis is controversial. Recent studies suggest that skeletal muscle wasting (sarcopenia) or loss of fat mass can be detected by computed tomography (CT) images and is useful for predicting the clinical outcome in several types of cancer including DLBCL. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the differences in DLBCL outcome according to BMI or weight that include tolerance to treatment, inflammatory background and chemotherapy or rituximab metabolism. In this review, we summarize the available literature, addressing the impact and physiopathological relevance of simple anthropometric tools including BMI and tissue distribution measurements. We also discuss their relationship with other nutritional parameters and their potential role in the management of patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Abstract
Although the majority of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be cured with standard rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP), patients who fail R-CHOP have a dismal outcome. Thus, optimization of front-line therapy, as well as the development of more effective salvage strategies, remains an important objective. Advances in molecular genetics have vastly improved our understanding of the biological diversity of DLBCL and have led to the discovery of key oncogenic pathways. In addition to the major molecular designations of germinal center B-cell and activated B-cell subtypes, next-generation sequencing technologies have unveiled the remarkable complexity of DLBCL and identified unique molecular targets that may be differentially exploited for therapeutic benefit. These findings have translated into a growing list of promising novel agents. Moving forward, it is of paramount importance to recognize the heterogeneity of DLBCL and to investigate these targeted agents within patient populations who are most likely to benefit. It will be necessary to prioritize drugs that affect key driver pathways and to combine them rationally to optimize their benefit. Improved prognostication and the availability of predictive biomarkers will be crucial to allow for the possibility of individualized risk-adapted therapy.
