Lamb M, Painter D, Howell D, Barrans S, Cargo C, de Tute R, Tooze R, Burton C, Patmore R, Roman E, Smith A. Lymphoid blood cancers, incidence and survival 2005-2023: A report from the UK's Haematological Malignancy Research Network. Cancer Epidemiol 2024; 88:102513. [PMID: 38160571 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2023.102513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Population-based information on cancer incidence and outcome are required to inform clinical practice and research; but contemporary data are lacking for many lymphoid cancer subtypes. METHODS Set within a socio-demographically representative UK population of ∼4 million, data are from an established UK patient cohort (N = 22,414 diagnoses). Information on incidence (crude and age-standardised) and survival (overall and net) is presented for > 40 subtypes. RESULTS The median diagnostic age was 69.9 years (interquartile range 59.1-78.3), but unlike many other cancers, lymphoid malignancies can be diagnosed at any age; different subtypes dominating at different ages. Males were more likely to be diagnosed than females (age-standardised sex rate ratio: 1.55 (95% Confidence Interval: 1.50,1.59)), and most subtypes had a male predominance, some more than three-fold (e.g. Burkitt lymphoma 3.26 (2.42, 4.40)). Five-year net survival estimates varied hugely, ranging from 97.4% (95% CI: 56.5, 99.9) in patients with hairy cell leukaemia to 31.6% (95% CI: 2.5, 69.8) in those with T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia. No significant sex difference in survival were observed for the majority of diagnoses; one exception being classical Hodgkin lymphoma, where males had a higher mortality (Excess Mortality Ratio: 1.44 (95% CI: 1.11, 1.87)). An improvement in survival over time was observed for some, but not all, of the major diagnostic groups. CONCLUSIONS Marked incidence and survival variations by subtype, sex and age confirm the heterogeneity of lymphoid neoplasms and highlight the importance of accurately characterising disease entities. Despite recent improvements, routine cancer registration of lymphoid neoplasms remains challenging and new issues continue to emerge; including the lack of an international consensus on classification and the recording of progressions and transformations. Furthermore, the increasing need for additional molecular and genomic information required for accurate classification is likely to impact negatively on the quality of cancer registration data, especially in low income countries.

Kalashnikov I, Tanskanen T, Viisanen L, Malila N, Jyrkkiö S, Leppä S. Transformation and survival in marginal zone lymphoma: a Finnish nationwide population-based study. Blood Cancer J 2023; 13:62. [PMID: 37185610 PMCID: PMC10130148 DOI: 10.1038/s41408-023-00831-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is an indolent B-cell malignancy with heterogeneous anatomical and clinical presentation. While MZLs are generally associated with long survival, some patients experience histological transformation to aggressive large B-cell lymphoma. Population-based long-term data on the transformation of MZL is limited. We conducted a nationwide population-based study to estimate the risk of transformation and relative survival in patients diagnosed with MZL in Finland from 1995-2018. We identified a total of 1454 patients with MZL from the Finnish Cancer Registry (FCR). The cumulative incidence of transformation was 4.7% (95% CI, 3.6-6.2) at 10 years. The highest incidence of transformation was observed in the patients with splenic MZL (14.0%; 95% CI, 8.6-22.7). The transformation was associated with a substantially increased risk of death (HR, 5.18; 95% CI, 3.58-7.50). Ten-year relative survival was 79% (95% CI, 73‒83%). Transformation, nodal MZL subtype, and older age at diagnosis were associated with increased excess mortality, whereas patients diagnosed at a later calendar period had a lower excess risk of death. We conclude that transformation resulted in a substantially increased mortality irrespective of MZL subtype compared with the patients without transformation. Our results also suggest a reduction in excess mortality in recent years.

[PMID: 36508554 PMCID: PMC9731832 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1046307] [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: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to describe incidence, incidence trends and survival patterns of lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) and its subtypes in Spain in the period 2002-2013 using data from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN). Materials and Methods Data were extracted from 13 Spanish population-based cancer registries. LNs incident cases were codified using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, third edition (ICD-O-3) and grouped according to the WHO 2008 classification. Age-standardized incidence rates to the 2013 European standard population (ASIRe) were obtained. Poisson regression models were used to analyze trends in incidence rates and estimate the annual percentage change (APC) for each subtype. The number of cases in Spain for 2023 was estimated by applying the estimated age-specific rates for the year 2023 to the 2023 Spanish population. Observed survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and net survival (NS) by the Pohar-Perme method. Sex- and age-specific estimates of 5-year NS were calculated, as well as its changes according to two periods of diagnosis (2002-2007 and 2008-2013). Results LNs accounted for 69% (n=39,156) of all hematological malignancies (n=56,751) diagnosed during the period of study. Median age at diagnosis was 67 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 52-77). The overall ASIRe was 34.23 (95% confidence interval (CI): 33.89, 34.57) and showed a marked male predominance in almost all subtypes (global sex ratio = 1.45). During the study period, incidence trends of LNs remained stable (APC: 0.3; 95% CI: -0.1, 0.6), nevertheless some subtypes showed statistically significant variations, such as LNs NOS category (APC: -5.6; 95% CI: -6.8, -4.3). Around 17,926 new cases of LNs will be diagnosed in 2023 in Spain. Survival rates differed considerably across age-groups, while they were similar between men and women. Five- year NS was 62.81% (95% CI: 62.1, 63.52) for all LNs, and varied widely across LNs subtypes, ranging from 39.21% to 90.25%. NS for all LNs improved from the first period of diagnosis to the second one, being 61.57% (95% CI: 60.56, 62.61) in 2002-2007 and 64.17% (95% CI: 63.29, 65.07) in 2008-2013. Conclusions This study presents the first complete and extensive population-based analysis of LNs incidence and survival in Spain. These population-based data provide relevant information to better understand the epidemiology of LNs in Southern Europe and it features some useful points for public health authorities and clinicians. However, additional improvements regarding the registration of these hematological neoplasms can be implemented.

Abstract
In 2016 there were an estimated 7,460 newly diagnosed patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) in the US, which comprised 7% of all mature non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Based on data from the US SEER-18 program from 2001-2017, the age-standardized incidence rate for MZL was 19.6 per 1,000,000 person-years; 9% of MZL cases were splenic MZL (SMZL), 30% nodal MZL (NMZL), and 61% extranodal MZL (EMZL) of mucusa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Incidence rates were slightly higher in men for SMZL and NMZL, but similar for EMZL, and increased steeply with age for all MZL subtypes. The incidence (age-standardized per 1,000,000) of MZL was highest among non-Hispanic whites (20.7), followed by Hispanics of all races (17.6), non-Hispanic blacks (15.4), and Asian/Pacific islanders (15.0). The incidence of MZL increased +1.0% per year in the US from 2001-2017, with increases reported in other countries during this timeframe. The 5-year relative survival rate for MZL in the US was 89.8% and was similar across racial/ethnic groups and by sex; survival rates have been increasing in the US and other countries. Established risk factors for MZL (or MZL subtypes) include family history of NHL, genetic loci in the HLA region, Helicobacter pylori infection (gastric MALT lymphoma), and several autoimmune diseases (Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and Hashimoto thyroiditis), with strong (but not definitive) evidence for Chlamydia psittaci (ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma), Borrelia burgdorferi (cutaneous MZL), hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and solid organ transplantation. Promising risk factors that require additional study include other infections, other autoimmune conditions, trichloroethylene exposure, certain occupations, hair dye, cigarette smoking, sun exposure (protective), and alcohol use (protective). MZL is a model of an antigen-driven malignancy, where epidemiologic risk factors, tissue-specific factors, and host immune response (including the impact of chronic inflammation and immunosuppression) drive lymphomagenesis with implications for prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe survival of lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) in the Girona province (Spain) during 1996-2015. METHODS Data were extracted from the Girona cancer registry. LN incident cases were registered using the ICD-O-3, following the 2008 WHO classification scheme and HAEMACARE grouping. Follow-up was available until the 31/12/2015. Observed and relative survival (RS) were estimated with Kaplan-Meier and Pohar Perme methods, respectively. RESULTS 4294 LNs diagnosed over a 20-year period were included in the survival analyses. 5-year RS was 62.3 % (95 % confidence interval (CI): 60.4-64.4), and ranged from 88.5%-41.1% according to subtype. Findings were similar between men and women, while survival decreased markedly with age. RS for all LNs improved during the first two periods of study, being 56.5 % (95 % CI: 53.1-60.0) in 1996-2002, 64.8 % (95 % CI: 61.7-68.2) in 2003-2008, and 65.6 % (95 % CI: 62.0-69.5) in 2009-2015. This pattern was mostly attributed to an improved survival of mature B-cell neoplasms, yet only statistically significant differences were reported for follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma subtypes. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides estimates of survival in LNs and its subtypes, allowing comparisons between countries. Survival for overall cases improved across the period of study, yet rates are still poor for most subtypes, evidencing the need of therapeutic research programs.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common indolent lymphoma subtype in Western countries. FL incidence increases with age, and shows considerable variation by race/ethnicity and geography. In the United States and France, FL incidence has been stable since 2000, whereas in other Western and Asian countries it has been increasing. Five-year relative survival rates have been increasing in Western and Asian countries. Progress on identifying FL-specific risk factors has accelerated with the implementation of the InterLymph nested classification and the availability of larger epidemiologic studies and pooled analyses. Identification of risk factors for FL requires further research.

Abstract
Lymphomas are a large, heterogeneous group of neoplasms with well-defined characteristics, and this heterogeneity highlights the importance of epidemiological data. Knowledge of local epidemiology is essential to optimise resources, design clinical trials, and identify minority entities. Given there are few published epidemiological data on lymphoma in Spain, the Spanish Lymphoma and Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Group created the RELINF project. The aim of this project is to determine the frequencies and distribution of lymphoid neoplasms in Spain and to analyse survival. We developed an online platform for the prospective collection of data on newly diagnosed cases of lymphoma in Spain between January 2014 and July 2018; 11,400 patients were registered. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) were the most frequent lymphomas in our series. Marginal B cell lymphoma frequency was higher than that reported in other studies, representing more than 11% of mature B cell lymphomas. Peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) was the most common subtype of T cell lymphoma, and NK/T cell lymphomas were more frequent than expected (5.4% of total). Hodgkin's lymphoma accounted for 12% of lymphoproliferative syndromes. Overall survival was greater than 90% at 2 years for indolent B cell lymphomas, and approximately 60% for DLBCL, somewhat lower than that previously reported. Survival was poor for PTCL-NOS and angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, as expected; however, it was somewhat better than that in other studies for anaplastic large cell anaplastic lymphoma kinase lymphomas. This is the first prospective registry to report the frequencies, distribution, and survival of lymphomas in Spain. The frequencies and survival data we report here are globally consistent with that reported in other Western countries. These updated frequencies and survival statistics are necessary for developing appropriate management strategies for neoplasias in the Spanish population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe incidence patterns of lymphoid neoplasms in the Girona province (Spain) (1996-2015), and to predict the number of cases in Spain during 2020. METHODS Data were extracted from the Girona cancer registry. Incident cases were classified using the ICD-O-3, third revision, and grouped according to the WHO 2008 classification scheme. Age-adjusted incidence rates to the European standard population (ASRE) were estimated and incidence trends were modeled using Joinpoint. RESULTS 4367 lymphoid neoplasms were diagnosed in the Girona province. The ASRE for overall lymphoma was 37.1 (95% CI: 36.0; 38.2), with a marked male predominance in almost all subtypes. During 1996-2015, incidence trends remained stable for broader lymphoma categories. According to our predictions, 17,950 new cases of LNs will be diagnosed in Spain in 2020. CONCLUSIONS This 'real-world' data will provide valuable information to better inform etiological hypotheses and plan future health-care services.

Abstract
The use of claims database to study lymphomas in real-life conditions is a crucial issue in the future. In this way, it is essential to develop validated algorithms for the identification of lymphomas in these databases. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of diagnosis codes in the French health insurance database to identify incident cases of lymphomas according to results of a regional cancer registry, as the gold standard.Between 2010 and 2013, incident lymphomas were identified in hospital data through 2 algorithms of selection. The results of the identification process and characteristics of incident lymphomas cases were compared with data from the Tarn Cancer Registry. Each algorithm's performance was assessed by estimating sensitivity, predictive positive value, specificity (SPE), and negative predictive value.During the period, the registry recorded 476 incident cases of lymphomas, of which 52 were Hodgkin lymphomas and 424 non-Hodgkin lymphomas. For corresponding area and period, algorithm 1 provides a number of incident cases close to the Registry, whereas algorithm 2 overestimated the number of incident cases by approximately 30%. Both algorithms were highly specific (SPE = 99.9%) but moderately sensitive. The comparative analysis illustrates that similar distribution and characteristics are observed in both sources.Given these findings, the use of claims database can be consider as a pertinent and powerful tool to conduct medico-economic or pharmacoepidemiological studies in lymphomas.

Bridging the gap between the randomised clinical trial world and the real world by combination of population-based registry and electronic health record data: A case study in haemato-oncology. Eur J Cancer 2017; 86:178-185. [PMID: 28992561 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2017.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2017] [Revised: 09/01/2017] [Accepted: 09/04/2017] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) are considered the basis of evidence-based medicine. It is recognised more and more that application of RCT results in daily practice of clinical decision-making is limited because the RCT world does not correspond with the clinical real world. Recent strategies aiming at substitution of RCT databases by improved population-based registries (PBRs) or by improved electronic health record (EHR) systems to provide significant data for clinical science are discussed. A novel approach exemplified by the HemoBase haemato-oncology project is presented. In this approach, a PBR is combined with an advanced EHR, providing high-quality data for observational studies and support of best practice development. This PBR + EHR approach opens a perspective on randomised registry trials.

Association between abnormal serum free light chains ratio and known prognostic factors in lymphoma; a nephrology viewpoint. J Renal Inj Prev 2017; 6:148-152. [PMID: 28497093 PMCID: PMC5423284 DOI: 10.15171/jrip.2017.29] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2016] [Accepted: 12/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The serum immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) assay quantities of free kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) light chains. This assay has prognostic value in plasma cell proliferative disorders. There are limited data on serum FLC in B-cell malignancies.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the known prognostic factors in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the type B-cell and Hodgkin disease with an abnormal secretion amount of light chains in these lymphomas.
Patients and Methods: The association of pretreatment FLC and FLC ratio (κ:λ) with previously known prognostic factors for lymphoma such as the international prognostic index (IPI) and B symptoms were evaluated in 50 patients with Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. IPI is a prognostic score given based on the clinical variables including age, disease stage, serum LDH and extra-nodal involvement. Elevated FLC and an abnormal κ:λ ratio was defined based on the previous publications.
Results: The prevalence of abnormal FLC ratio was 38% in all patients and 40.9% in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Abnormal FLC ratio was significantly associated with IPI (P=0.04) and B symptoms (P=0.02) in both groups of the patients with Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The stage of the disease in Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients showed a significant relationship with the abnormal FLC ratio (P=0.04). Presence of the B symptoms in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma had a modest but not statistically significant association with the abnormal FLC ratio (P=0.07).
Conclusion: Abnormal FLC ratio as a new potent prognostic biomarker has a significant association with IPI which is the most common clinical tool used to predict outcome in lymphoma patients. Since there is a need for developing a reliable and quantitative prognostic biomarker for lymphoma, evaluation of the independent effect of the abnormal serum FLC ratio is suggested to be considered in future prospective studies. The result of these studies will also be useful for nephrologists, while serum immunoglobulin FLC is capable to damage kidney.
