Abstract
Purpose: Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are typically treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP). However, a standard of care for managing adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with DLBCL is lacking. We examine treatment approaches and outcomes of this population. Methods: We included 90 AYAs (15-39 years) diagnosed with DLBCL between 2008 and 2018 in three tertiary centers in Peru. Overall response rates (ORR) were available for all patients. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 33 years, 57% were males, 57% had good performance status (Lansky/Karnofsky ≥90), and 61% were diagnosed with early-stage disease (Ann Arbor stages I-II). R-CHOP (n = 69, 77%) was the most frequently used first-line regimen, with an ORR of 91%. With a median follow-up of 83 months, the 5-year OS and PFS among all patients were 79% and 67%, respectively. Among the patients who received R-CHOP, the 5-year OS and PFS were 77% and 66%, respectively. Of the 29 (32%) patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease, 83% received second-line treatment and only 14% underwent consolidation therapy with autologous transplantation. The 3-year OS for R/R DLBCL was 36%. Conclusion: Our data show that AYAs with DLBCL who received conventional therapy had comparable outcomes to those observed in studies conducted among the adult population. However, the prognosis for AYAs with R/R disease was dismal, indicating the unmet need for developing and increasing access to novel treatment modalities in AYAs.

Abstract
Lymphoid cancers are among the most frequent cancers diagnosed in adolescents and young adults (AYA), ranging from approximately 30%-35% of cancer diagnoses in adolescent patients (age 10-19) to approximately 10% in patients aged 30-39 years. Moreover, the specific distribution of lymphoid cancer types varies by age with substantial shifts in the subtype distributions between pediatric, AYA, adult, and older adult patients. Currently, biology studies specific to AYA lymphomas are rare and therefore insight into age-related pathogenesis is incomplete. This review focuses on the paradigmatic epidemiology and pathogenesis of select lymphomas, occurring in the AYA patient population. With the example of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders, nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (incl. pediatric-type follicular lymphoma), and mediastinal lymphomas (incl. classic Hodgkin lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma and mediastinal gray zone lymphoma), we here illustrate the current state-of-the-art in lymphoma classification, recent molecular insights including genomics, and translational opportunities. To improve outcome and quality of life, international collaboration in consortia dedicated to AYA lymphoma is needed to overcome challenges related to siloed biospecimens and data collections as well as to develop studies designed specifically for this unique population.

Abstract
Though survival outcomes among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with lymphoma have improved over the last three decades, socially vulnerable populations including non-White, low-income, and publicly insured groups continue to trail behind on survival curves. These disparities, while likely the result of both biological and non-biological factors, can be largely attributed to inequities in care over the full cancer continuum. Nationally representative studies have demonstrated that from diagnosis through therapy and into long-term survivorship, socially vulnerable AYAs with lymphoma face barriers to care that impact their short and long-term survival. Thus, improving outcomes for all AYAs with lymphoma requires dedicated study to understand, and then address the unique challenges faced by non-White and low-income lymphoma populations within this age group.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with lymphoma experience treatment-related effects in the short and long term that impact their quality of life and survivorship experience. The effort to improve outcomes for AYA lymphoma survivors requires understanding the available literature, identifying current knowledge deficits, designing better clinical trials incorporating the patient perspective, using novel tools to bridge data gaps and building survivorship guidelines that translate research to clinical practice. This review article summarizes the current state of lymphoma treatment-related outcomes in AYAs and provides future direction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescent and Young Adults (AYAs) are an underserved, high-risk population. Identifying health care utilization patterns, and particularly acute care visits, is important as these are high-intensity, expensive services. We investigated whether differences exist in health care utilization between the AYA lymphoma population compared to their older adult counterparts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two correlated outcomes were used to measure health care utilization: 4 or more acute visits (emergency department or urgent care) and number of nonacute visits (office or telephone visits). We studied 442 patients with aggressive lymphoma patients 15 years or older at time of diagnosis managed at our cancer center within 2 years of their diagnosis. A multivariate generalized linear mixed model simultaneously estimated the effect of baseline predictors on 4 or more acute care visit with robust Poisson regression and nonacute visit counts with negative binomial regression allowing for a within-subject random effect. RESULTS AYAs had increased risk of having ≥4 acute visits (RR = 1.96; P = .047) compared to their older counterparts. Obesity (RR = 2.04, P = .015) and living less than 50 miles from the cancer center (RR = 3.48, P = .015) were independently associated with higher risk of acute care usage. Acute care visits for psychiatric or substance use related reasons were significantly higher (P = .0001) among AYA (10/114, 8.8%) vs. non-AYA (3/328, 0.9%). CONCLUSION Disease-targeted interventions to address high acute health care utilization is needed amongst AYAs. Additionally, early multidisciplinary involvement after cancer diagnosis particularly with psychiatric expertise amongst AYAs and palliative care involvement in both groups is needed.

Epidemiological Features and Outcomes of HTLV-1 Carriers Diagnosed With Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study in an Endemic Country. JCO Glob Oncol 2023; 9:e2200369.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is an endemic virus in Latin America that is directly linked to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). Previous studies have suggested an oncogenic role of HTLV-1 in non-ATL neoplasms and have found higher mortality in HTLV-1 carriers without ATL. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, HTLV-1 carriers were identified through screening at a tertiary cancer center between 2006 and 2019. We compared the overall survival (OS) outcomes of patients with ATL with those with other solid or hematologic malignancies by sex stratification. RESULTS We identified 1,934 HTLV-1 carriers diagnosed with cancer. The median age at diagnosis was 62 (range 20-114) years, 76% were female, 60% had no or elementary school education, and 50% were born in the Andean highlands. The most common non-ATL neoplasm was cervical cancer (50%) among females and non-ATL non-Hodgkin lymphoma (26%) among males. With a median follow-up of 66 months, the 5-year OS of HTLV-1 carriers with non-ATL neoplasms (26%-47% for females and 22%-34% for males) was inferior to those reported in the general population. As expected, patients with ATL had a worse prognosis (5-year OS: 10% for females and 8% for males). CONCLUSION HTLV-1 carriers with cancer were middle age and from underprivileged settings, suggesting an undetected transmission among vulnerable populations, especially females. Survival estimates of HTLV-1 carriers with non-ATL neoplasms were lower than the regional outcomes. Future research should ascertain how the biology of HTLV-1 and health care disparities affect the outcomes of HTLV-1 carriers, as well as determine the burden of HTLV-1 infection in the cancer population to recommend screening in the outpatient setting of endemic regions.

Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disorder with highly diverse clinical manifestations. We explored if age, sex, race, organ system involved, and therapy approaches determine patient survival in the era of modern treatments. LCH patient data reported to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program in 2010-2016 (n=1282; age: 0 to 100 y) was analyzed. Age-specific LCH incidence flattening to a low level suggests an age cutoff for pediatric patients of 20 years. The overall survival probability is lower for patients 21 to 100 years old ( P <0.0001), irrespective of sex and race. The commonest sites involved in the 0- to 20-year age group were bone, skin, and bone marrow; this shifted to lung, bone, and skin as the commonest disease sites in patients 21 to 100 years of age. The treatments applied differed between age groups, as younger versus older patients were more likely to receive chemotherapy-based treatment (48.4% vs. 17%; P <0.0001). There also was a trend toward nonwhite versus white patients being less likely to receive chemotherapy-based treatment (31.7% vs. 38.2%; P =0.067). Whereas there are treatment disparities related to LCH patient age and perhaps race, patient age is the strongest predictor of survival, with patients 21 to 100 years of age with lung, lymph node, skin, and bone marrow disease having the worst outcomes ( P <0.0001).

Abstract
Purpose: Anthracyclines can cause long-term cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, especially in long-term Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) lymphoma survivors. Pre-treatment left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) evaluation is recommended, although its utility in AYA is not established. We sought to determine the pre-treatment LVEF assessment practices in AYA lymphoma survivors treated with anthracyclines and factors associated with long-term cardiotoxicity. Methods: Through an electronic health records review, we retrospectively identified AYA lymphoma survivors with ≥5 years of follow-up postanthracycline treatment. Pre-treatment and follow-up data were abstracted. CV health conditions were defined as risk factors for CV disease and confirmed CV diagnoses. Survivors who had new CV health conditions at follow-up were compared to those who were not using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results: One hundred fifteen AYA lymphoma survivors met the study criteria. Pre-treatment LVEF assessment did not affect chemotherapy decisions. Survivors with pre-treatment CV evaluation had mean follow-up since diagnosis of 8 ± 3.3 years, while survivors without it had 10.3 ± 4.2 years, p < 0.05. Survivors with pre-treatment LVEF assessment received lower cumulative anthracycline dose (240.4 mg/m2 vs. 280.1 mg/m2, p < 0.05) and fewer cycles of chemotherapy (4.8 ± 1.5 vs. 5.6 ± 1.2, p < 0.05). Body mass index (BMI) category at diagnosis and follow-up, in addition to age were associated with development of new CV health conditions, pre-treatment LVEF evaluation was not. Conclusion: Pre-treatment LVEF assessment for AYA lymphoma survivors does not impact oncologic treatment decisions or development of CV health conditions. It may be more valuable to assess and modify CV risk factors such as BMI for CV disease prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the mortality trend and to analyze the potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to leukemias and lymphomas in Brazil and Mato Grosso, from 2001 to 2019. METHODS Time-series study on deaths from leukemias and lymphomas with data obtained from the Mortality Information System. Trends were calculated by age group by the Joinpoint regression method, using calendar year as regressor variable, estimated annual percentage change (APC) and mean annual percentage change, considering 95% confidence intervals. PYLL rates were collected from the Cancer Mortality Atlas. RESULTS In Brazil, the mortality rate trend remained stable for both diseases in the period: leukemias (APC=0.2; 95%CI 0.0-0.3) and lymphomas (APC=0.2; 95%CI 0.4-0.1). In Mato Grosso state, the rate for leukemias was also stable (APC=0.3; 95%CI 1.0-1.6). For lymphomas, the trend was ascendant (APC=2.3; 95%CI 0.5-4.2), but descending among people younger than 59 years. For leukemias, PYLL rates were 64 and 65/100,000 in Brazil and Mato Grosso, respectively. For lymphomas, 27 and 22/100,000, respectively, with the highest rates found among males. CONCLUSION The behavior of mortality rates from leukemia and lymphoma in Mato Grosso was different from that observed nationally, with an upward trend for lymphomas and no differences between age groups for both diseases. PYLL rates for leukemias were similar, while for lymphomas they were higher among men and lower in Mato Grosso when compared to Brazil.

Abstract
Lymphoma is a malignant disease that threatens human health and imposes a significant burden on the society burden; however, there are limited accurate mortality data on lymphoma in China. The present study aimed to analyse lymphoma-associated mortality at the national and provincial levels in mainland China. Mortality data of lymphoma was extracted from the disease surveillance system of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Mortality was represented by the number of deaths, crude mortality rate, and age-standardized mortality rate. Temporal trends in mortality rates were examined using the fitting joinpoint models. Lymphoma accounted for 31,225 deaths in 2020, of which 1,838 and 29,387 were due to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate per 100,000 population was 1.76 for lymphoma, 0.10 for HL, and 1.66 for NHL. The mortality rate increased with age, reaching a peak in the age group of 80–84 years for HL and over 85 years for NHL. Moreover, the death risk due to lymphoma was approximately 1.5–2 times greater in males than in females in all age groups. The mortality rate was higher in eastern China than in central and western China, indicating a heterogeneous distribution at the provincial level. During 2013–2020, the mortality rate of lymphoma decreased by 1.85% (−22.94% for HL and −0.14% for NHL). In conclusion, the mortality of lymphoma varied by sex, age, and regions, which highlighted the need of establish differentiated strategy for disease control and prevention.

PURPOSE This research aimed to explore prognostic factors for early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) patients with liver metastasis (LM) and develop nomogram for predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS) probability quantitatively. METHODS Our study included 4368 EO-CRC patients with LM registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2017. Potential prognostic factors for EO-CRC patients with LM were identified by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Prognostic nomogram was subsequently constructed based on these prognostic factors. The discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the nomogram were assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS In the training cohort, marital status, primary tumor location, histopathological grade, T stage, number of metastatic organs, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), perineural invasion (PI), surgery of primary site, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and metastatic lymph nodes ratio (LNR) were prognostic factors for cancer-specific mortality of EO-CRC patients with LM. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year AUC values of the prognostic nomogram were 0.777, 0.781, and 0.788, respectively. Calibration curves indicated acceptable agreement between nomogram-predicted survival and actual observed survival at 1, 2, and 3 years. DCA curves exhibited good positive net benefits in the prognostic model in most threshold probabilities at different time points. All of these results were reproducible in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS This study identified prognostic factors for EO-CRC patients with LM and developed a prognostic nomogram with good performance and clinical usability, which may help clinicians make better treatment decisions.

Lymphoma during pregnancy in Japan: a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Int J Hematol 2022; 115:382-390. [PMID: 34981434 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-021-03281-w] [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: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to characterize lymphoma occurring during pregnancy and to investigate the outcomes of the patients and the fetuses. METHODS Clinical data were gathered retrospectively from 29 patients at 13 participating institutions, and data from 28 eligible patients were analyzed. RESULTS Six (21%) patients had Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 22 (79%) patients had non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). All patients with HL presented with lymphadenopathy, but 15 (68%) of the 22 patients with NHL presented with extranodal sites only. At the median follow-up period of 1325 (range 6-4461) days, the 5-year overall survival rate was 63% for patients with NHL and 100% for patients with HL. Three of the 13 patients who received chemotherapy during pregnancy (23%) developed Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP). There was 1 intrauterine fetal death, 1 spontaneous abortion in the first trimester, and 15 (54%) preterm births. CONCLUSION This study showed a higher proportion of NHL than HL during pregnancy in Japan, which was inconsistent with the proportions observed in Western countries. The high incidence of maternal PCP and preterm birth suggested the need for improvements in our management of lymphoma during pregnancy.

Abstract
RESUMO: Objetivos: Estimar a tendência de mortalidade e analisar os anos potenciais de vida perdidos (APVP) por leucemias e linfomas no Brasil e em Mato Grosso, entre os anos de 2001 e 2019. Métodos: Estudo de série temporal de óbitos por leucemias e linfomas obtidos do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. As tendências foram calculadas por faixa etária pelo método de regressão joinpoint, usando ano calendário como variável regressora, e estimaram-se a variação percentual anual (APC) e a variação percentual média anual, considerando intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). As taxas de APVP foram coletadas do Atlas de Mortalidade por Câncer. Resultados: No Brasil, a tendência da taxa de mortalidade apresentou estabilidade para ambos os agravos, leucemias (APC=0,2; IC95% 0,0–0,3) e linfomas (APC=0,2; IC95% 0,4–0,1). No estado, a taxa por leucemias também apontou estabilidade (APC=0,3; IC95% 1,0–1,6). Para os linfomas, a tendência foi de aumento (APC=2,3; IC95% 0,5–4,2), contudo tendência decrescente foi observada entre aqueles com menos de 59 anos. Para leucemias, as taxas de APVP foram de 64 e 65/100 mil no Brasil e em Mato Grosso, respectivamente. Para linfomas, esses valores foram de 27 e 22/100 mil, respectivamente, sendo as maiores taxas encontradas no sexo masculino. Conclusão: As taxas de mortalidade por leucemias e linfomas em Mato Grosso apresentam comportamento diferente do observado nacionalmente, com tendência crescente para linfomas e sem diferenças entre as faixas etárias, para ambos os agravos. As taxas de APVP por leucemias foram semelhantes, no entanto para os linfomas foram maiores entre os homens e menores para o estado, quando comparadas com as do Brasil.

Abstract
PURPOSE The population of adolescent and young adult (AYA, ages 15-39 years) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivors is growing, however long-term overall survival patterns and disparities are largely unknown. METHODS The current study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry to assess the impact of race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and rurality on long-term survival in 5-year DLBCL survivors using an accelerated failure time model. RESULTS Included were 4767 5-year survivors of AYA DLBCL diagnosed between the years 1980 and 2009 with a median follow-up time of 13.4 years. Non-Hispanic Black survivors had significantly worse long-term survival than non-Hispanic White survivors (Survival Time Ratio (STR): 0.53, p < 0.0001). Male sex (STR: 0.57, p < 0.0001) and older age at diagnosis were also associated with reduced long-term survival. There was no evidence that survival disparities improved over time. CONCLUSIONS Racial disparities persist well into survivorship among AYA DLBCL survivors. Studies investigating specific factors associated with survival disparities are urgently needed to better address these disparities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Liver metastasis (LM) significantly shortens the survival time of colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) patients. This research aimed to explore risk and prognostic factors in colorectal NENs patients with LM and develop nomograms for predicting the risk of LM and survival probability quantitatively. METHODS A total of 9926 colorectal NENs patients registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2017 were included. Risk factors for LM in colorectal NENs patients were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Potential prognostic factors for colorectal NENs patients with LM were identified by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Nomograms were constructed for quantifying the probability of LM occurrence and survival. RESULTS At diagnosis, 8.7% of colorectal NENs patients suffered LM, with 1-, 3-, and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates of 44.3%, 26.5%, and 18.0%, respectively. Factors associated with LM occurrence included gender, age at diagnosis, primary tumor location, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), histological differentiation, T stage, and N stage. Age at diagnosis, race, histological differentiation, N stage, tumor size, primary tumor location, primary site surgery, and extraliver metastasis were prognostic factors of cancer-specific mortality. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of the nomogram for predicting LM was 0.888 (95% CI: 0.877-0.898), and the C-index of the nomogram for estimating CSS probability was 0.705 (95% CI: 0.682-0.729). CONCLUSIONS This research identified the risk and prognostic factors in colorectal NENs patients with LM. The nomograms constructed by this study can be convenient tools for facilitating clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) represent a distinct group of patients. The objectives of this study were: To compare adolescent prognosis to that of younger children; to compare the results achieved with the two consecutive protocols in both age groups; to analyze clinical characteristics of children and adolescents. Between 1996 and 2017, 1759 patients aged <18 years were evaluable for the study. Five hundred and sixty patients were treated with the MH’96 protocol and 1199 with the LH2004 protocol. Four hundred and eighty-two were adolescents aged ≥15 years. Patients in both age groups showed very favorable prognoses. In particular, OS improved with the LH2004 protocol, especially in the adolescent group and in the low risk group, where radiation therapy was spared. Adolescent characteristics differed significantly from the children’s according to sex, histology, and the presence of symptoms. Remarkable is the decrease both in mixed cellularity in the children and in low stages in both age groups in the LH2004 protocol with respect to MH’96 protocol. Based on our experience, adopting pediatric protocols for AYA does not compromise patient outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is unclear how primary tumor location affects the pulmonary metastasis in colorectal cancer patients with different primary tumor locations. We aim to explore the relationship between primary tumor location and the incidence and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients with pulmonary metastasis at diagnosis. METHODS From Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, 9920 out of 192,969 CRC patients were identified with pulmonary metastasis at diagnosis between 2010 and 2015. Patients were classified into three subsets according to primary tumor location. The incidence of pulmonary metastasis and median survival were calculated. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression were performed to identify the risk factors of pulmonary metastasis and prognosis. RESULTS The incidence of pulmonary metastasis was 5.14% in the entire colorectal cancer cohort and 25.66% in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. The median survival of those patients was 10 months. Rectal cancer patients exhibited the highest incidence of pulmonary metastasis, while they had the longest median survival (15 months). The right-sided colon cancer patients had the lowest incidence of pulmonary metastasis, but the shortest median survival (8 months). 61 to 80 years old, over 80, black, two or three extrapulmonary metastatic sites and CEA-positive had a negative influence both on the incidence and prognosis. CONCLUSIONS The importance of primary tumor location in affecting the incidence of pulmonary metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients was highlighted in this study. Primary tumor location should be considered in clinical interference and personalized treatment for colorectal cancer patients with pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract
Background: Management of adolescent and young adults (AYAs) cancer is very heterogeneous. In the case of lymphomas, outcomes are mostly favorable but there is still room for improvement. Design: We retrospectively collected the pattern of care of all institutional 13- to 25-year-old AYAs patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) diagnosed in the Rhône-Alpes region between the years 2000 and 2005. Management, including adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), and long-term survival were analyzed by comparing adult units (AU) and pediatric units (PU). Results: 278 patients were included: 198 treated for HL (median age of 19 years), 80 treated for NHL (median age of 20 years). Among them, 74% were managed in AU and 26% in PU. The median time between diagnosis and starting treatment was significantly lower in PU than in AU. Sixty-five patients (23%) were included in clinical trials, mostly in AU. Five-year overall survival was 96% for HL [14 deaths, median follow-up 91 months (9-180)] and 90% for NHL [nine deaths, median follow-up 80 months (3-180)]. Secondary cancers occurred for 2% (n = 3) of HL patients and for none in NHL. Other major late complications included cardiovascular accidents in two patients and fatal pulmonary fibrosis in one patient. Major differences in chemotherapy and radiotherapy use are emphasized. Global management conformed to CPGs by 56%. Conclusions: Important differences between adult and pediatric management were reported, without any impact on survival. A few patients can be included in clinical trials: Homogeneity in management could improve specific care for AYAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most pediatric patients with lymphoma do not have classic symptoms of fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Lymphoma can present as vague symptoms and may mimic common pediatric abdominal emergencies. In this case report, we present a child who presented with abdominal pain and who was initially misdiagnosed as having a surgical emergency. CASE REPORT An 11-year-old previously healthy male was referred to the pediatric emergency department after he presented to an outside hospital with 3 days of right lower quadrant pain and 1 episode of diarrhea. The initial concern was appendicitis. He had a computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis that showed thickening of the bowel wall, peritoneal thickening, and a right pleural effusion. His laboratory assessments were only notable for a mildly elevated lactate dehydrogenase level of 506 units/L. He had a colonoscopy, and biopsy specimens obtained from the terminal ileum and cecum were negative. He developed worsening symptoms, and subsequently underwent laparoscopic biopsy procedures of the omentum and terminal ileum, which were consistent with Burkitt lymphoma. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: We discuss the important oncologic findings of pediatric lymphoma, including oncologic emergencies and important laboratory and imaging tests that providers should consider while in the emergency department. This case highlights how pediatric lymphoma can mimic common pediatric pathologies providers often encounter in the emergency department.

Abstract
Background There is a dearth of accurate information about patterns of mortality of lymphoid neoplasms and temporal trends in China. In this nationwide mortality study, we aimed to assess the mortality of lymphoma and myeloma in 2017 and the changes in the trend from 2004 to 2016. Methods Death certificate data obtained from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s disease surveillance points system (CDC-DSP) and population data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China were used in this study. We described the mortality of lymphoma and myeloma in 2017 by age group, sex, residence, and region and evaluated the temporal trend from 2004 to 2016 using joinpoint regression. Results An estimated 52,000 deaths associated with lymphoma and myeloma occurred in 2017. The age-standardized mortality rate China (ASMRC) and age-standardized mortality rate worldwide (ASMRW) per 100,000 were 3.74 and 2.60, respectively. Males had higher ASMRC than females (4.54 vs. 2.91 per 100,000). The ASMRC in urban areas was significantly higher than that in rural areas (4.35 vs. 3.47 per 100,000). The age-specific mortality rate showed an upward trend with age and reached a maximum in the age group of over 85 years. In terms of regional variation, Eastern China had the highest mortality rate (3.43/100,000), followed by Central China (3.10/100,000) and Western China (3.02/100,000). The mortality rates of lymphoma and myeloma increased annually by 4.5% during the period 2004–2016, with a significant rapid upward trend in rural areas since 2007. Conclusions The mortality of lymphoma and myeloma increased in China from 2004 to 2017. The rapid increase in disease burden in rural areas highlights new challenges for disease prevention and control strategies.

Abstract
Mature B cell lymphomas account for approximately 60% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in children and adolescents and includes Burkitt lymphoma (BL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other less common histologies. The outcome for patients treated with modern regimens in resource-intensive settings is excellent. Improvements in care have been accomplished through enhanced supportive therapy, including tumour lysis management and incremental refinement of chemotherapy backbones via cooperative group clinical trials in which patients receive risk group-specific intensive chemotherapy. More recent trials have established the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy. Ongoing work is required to address the substantial burden of acute therapy-related toxicity, as well as the identification of effective therapies for those patients with relapsed and refractory disease, for whom outcomes remain very poor. In this review we will summarize the results from recent therapeutic clinical trials, describe the evidence to support the inclusion of rituximab and review the rationale for the investigation of several new categories of novel agents for mature B cell lymphomas in children and adolescents.
