Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the criteria of the Lugano, RECIL, and PERCIST for prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 335 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. All patients underwent baseline 18 F-FDG PET/CT. Among them, 252 and 213 patients underwent interim PET/CT (I-PET/CT) and end-of-treatment PET/CT (EoT-PET/CT), respectively. Scans were interpreted by 2 nuclear medicine physicians using Lugano, RECIL, and PERCIST. RECIL and PERCIST were compared with Lugano for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS All 3 response criteria could be used to predict PFS and OS. In I-PET/CT, the concordance index of Lugano in predicting PFS and OS was higher than that of RECIL (both P = 0.043) or PERCIST ( P = 0.008 and P = 0.034, respectively). In EoT-PET/CT, the concordance index of Lugano for predicting PFS and OS was similar to RECIL and not significantly different from PERCIST ( P = 0.597 and P = 0.231, respectively). CONCLUSIONS For I-PET/CT, using the Lugano criteria is more accurate than RECIL or PERCIST in predicting PFS and OS. However, for EoT-PET/CT, the PERCIST criteria are minimally better.

High-grade Follicular Lymphomas Exhibit Clinicopathologic, Cytogenetic, and Molecular Diversity Extending Beyond Grades 3A and 3B. Am J Surg Pathol 2021; 45:1324-1336.

Abstract
Although follicular lymphoma (FL) is usually graded as FL1-2, FL3A, and FL3B, some borderline cases can be observed and led us to investigate the clinicopathologic diversity of grade 3 FL (FL3). Among 2449 FL patients enrolled in Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) trials, 1921 cases with sufficient material underwent a central pathologic review. The resulting diagnoses comprised 89.6% FL1-2 (n=1723), 7.2% FL3A (n=138), and 0.5% purely follicular FL3B (n=9). The remaining 51 unclassifiable cases (2.7%) exhibited high-grade features but did not meet WHO criteria for either FL3A or FL3B; and were considered as "unconventional" high-grade FL (FL3U). FL3U morphological pattern consisted of nodular proliferation of large cleaved cells or small-sized to medium-sized blast cells. Compared with FL3A, FL3U exhibited higher MUM1 and Ki67 expression, less BCL2 breaks and more BCL6 rearrangements, together with a higher number of cases without any BCL2, BCL6 or MYC rearrangement. FL3U harbored less frequent mutations in BCL2, KMT2D, KMT2B, and CREBBP than FL3A. MYC and BCL2 were less frequently mutated in FL3U than FL3B. Rituximab cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone treated FL3U patients had a worse survival than FL1-2 patients with similar follicular lymphoma international prognostic index and treatment. These results suggest that high-grade FLs encompass a heterogeneous spectrum of tumors with variable morphology and genomic alterations, including FL3U cases that do not strictly fit WHO criteria for either FL3A or FL3B, and display a worse outcome than FL1-2. The distinction of FL3U may be useful to allow a better comprehension of high-grade FLs and to design clinical trials.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with complex tumor microenvironment (TME) alterations. However, immune cell signatures of TME and their prognostic value remain unclear in DLBCL. We aimed to identify high-risk DLBCL with specific immune cell signatures in TME. Clinical and gene expression data of DLBCL patients were obtained from previously reported retrospective datasets in Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE108466 and GSE5378616 ) and a multi-center prospective clinical trial NHL001 (NCT01852435). Patients treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen (n = 159) from GSE10846 were referred as training cohort for CHOP regimen, while patients treated with rituximab-CHOP (R-CHOP) regimen (n = 192) from GSE10846 as training cohort for R-CHOP regimen. Patients from NHL001 (n = 68) and GSE53786 (n = 57) were referred as validation cohorts for R-CHOP regimen. CIBERSORT was applied to estimate the relative proportions of 22 subtype of immune cells. We established a prognostic model for model for R-CHOP regimen included Age, performance status, lactate dehydrogenase, T cells follicular helper and macrophages M0, defining a low-risk group with 2-years OS of 92.9% and a high-risk group with 2-years OS of 52.5% (HR 6.57 [3.27-13.18], p < 0.0001). Immune cell signatures could be used as prognostic markers and provided further insights for individualized immunotherapeutic strategies in DLBCL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present cases of primary lacrimal sac lymphoma in a Japanese population. METHODS In this retrospective case series, five cases (two males and three females; mean age: 49.8 years; age range: 38-62 years) were included. Clinical features, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes were collected and reviewed. RESULTS Most patients presented with a swelling or mass in the medial canthal area. Only one patient presented with epiphora, while another patient also complained of pain which was due to inflammation. Imaging studies revealed a lacrimal sac mass with involvement of the nasolacrimal duct and variable involvement of the nasal cavity. Histopathological findings revealed three cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, one case of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, and one case of follicular lymphoma. Four cases were treated with a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, with one case necessitating additional radiotherapy. One case was treated with immunotherapy alone. The mean follow-up was 23 (range: 3-50) months. Four cases showed complete remission, while the remaining patient is still ongoing treatment. CONCLUSION Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of lacrimal sac lymphoma in this series. Lacrimal sac tumors should be ruled out in the presence of epiphora, dacryocystitis, or a mass in the medial canthus, even in the absence of pain or bleeding. Combined chemotherapy and immunotherapy is an effective treatment for these cases.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) frequently occurs in lymphoma patients receiving R-CHOP, a drug combination therapy. Although severe CIPN may lead to reduction and/or discontinuation of the medication, predictive factors of CIPN have not been investigated sufficiently to date. We performed a retrospective exploratory research to determine associations between prevalence of severe CIPN and sociodemographic data, health characteristics, and medical conditions such as anemia at initial diagnosis. Forty patients (indolent lymphoma, n = 9; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; n = 31) received R-CHOP therapy from September 2009 to July 2014. The median age of patients was 58 years (range = 27–76 years). Statistical analyses were applied to the patients, who were divided into two groups: mild CIPN (no symptoms or grade 1 according to the CTCAE version 3.0 program) and severe CIPN patients (grade 2 or higher). Forward stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed using the following variables: sex, BMI, BSA, hyperglycemia, malnutrition, and anemia. Severe CIPN occurred in seven patients (17.5%). Gender and anemia remained following the stepwise procedure, and anemia predicted severe CIPN significantly (OR = 19.45, 95% confidence interval = 1.52–171.12). Our study suggests that anemia at initial diagnosis could be a predictive factor of R-CHOP-induced CIPN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of interim PET (iPET) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) using 5 different imaging interpretation criteria: Deauville 5-point scale criteria, International Harmonization Project (IHP) criteria, Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, and PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) 1.0. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records from 38 patients with DLBCL who underwent baseline and iPET at our institution. Imaging was interpreted according to the previously mentioned criteria. Results were correlated with end-of-treatment response, based on reports at the end of treatment radiological examinations, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) to assess and compare the predictive value of iPET according to each criterion. We also evaluated the concordance between different criteria. RESULTS The Deauville and PERCIST criteria were the most reliable for predicting end-of-treatment response, reporting an accuracy of 81.6%. They also correlated with OS and PFS (P = 0.0004 and P = 0.0001, and P = 0.0007 and P = 0.0002, for Deauville and PERCIST, respectively). Interim PET according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer also predicted the end-of-treatment response with an accuracy of 73.7% and had a significant correlation with OS (P = 0.007) and PFS (P = 0.007). In contrast, the IHP criteria and RECIST did not predict outcomes: the accuracy for end-of-treatment response was 34.2% and 36.8%, respectively, with no significant correlation with OS or PFS (P = 0.182 and P = 0.357, and P = 0.341 and P = 0.215, for OS and PFS, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The predictive value of iPET in DLBCL patients is most reliable using the Deauville and PERCIST criteria. Criteria that rely on anatomical characteristics, namely, RECIST and IHP criteria, are less accurate in predicting patient outcomes in DLBCL.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is generally considered an indolent disorder. With modern day treatments, long remissions are often achieved both in the front-line and relapsed setting. However, a subset of patients has a more aggressive course and a worse outcome. Their identification is the main purpose of modern day prognostic tools. In this review, we attempt to summarize the evidence concerning prognostic and predictive factors in FL, including (1) pre-treatment factors, from baseline clinical characteristics and imaging tests to histological grade, the microenvironment and genomic abnormalities; (2) post-treatment factors, i.e., depth of response, measured both by imaging tests and minimal residual disease; (3) factors at relapse and duration of response; and (4) prognostic factors in histological transformation. We conclude that, despite the existence of numerous tools, the availability of some of them is still limited; they generally suffer from notable downsides, and most have unproven predictive value, thus having scarce bearing on the choice of regimen at present. However, with the technological and scientific developments of the last few years, the potential for these prognostic factors is promising, particularly in combination, which will probably, in time, help guide therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
Up to date, survivin, a well-known inhibitor of apoptosis, has attracted considerable attention as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Nevertheless, there still remains no consensus on heterogeneous results. Herein, a meta-analysis was performed to clarify a convincing significance of survivin status on prognosis and clinicopathology of DLBCL patients.Eligible studies were identified by searching Medline, Embase, Scopus, CNKI, and Wanfang databases (last updated on November 30, 2014). Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Heterogeneity and sensitivity were also analyzed. Moreover, Begg, Egger test, and funnel plots were applied to evaluate the publication bias.We finally included 17 eligible studies with the total number of 1352 patients in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that positive survivin expression in DLBCL was associated with inferior overall survival (OS) (HR: 1.880, 95% CI: 1.550-2.270) in patients. Moreover, a significant association was revealed between survivin expression and advanced clinical stage (III + IV) (OR: 0.611, 95% CI: 0.452-0.827), higher International Prognosis Index (IPI) score (Score 3-5) (OR: 0.559; 95% CI: 0.410-0.761), elevated serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR: 0.607, 95% CI: 0.444-0.831), presence of bone marrow involvement (OR: 2.127, 95% CI: 1.154-3.921) together with reduced complete remission (CR) rate (OR: 0.478, 95% CI: 0.345-0.662).The results suggest that survivin could be a useful prognostic biomarker, and a promising target for DLBCL therapeutic intervention. Considering limited HR data adjusted for standard prognostic variables could be retrieved, future high-quality studies will be needed in evaluating the independent prognostic value of survivin expression in DLBCL.

Abstract
Useful prognostic markers for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have been reported. To identify which biomarker best predicts the prognosis of patients with DLBCL, we performed a retrospective study that included 319 DLBCL patients who had received rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) therapy between 2003 and 2012. We assessed the prognostic significance of six biomarkers [lactate dehydrogenase, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, thymidine kinase activity, beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), C-reactive protein, and ferritin] and representative clinical characteristics using progression-free survival (PFS) as the endpoint. The study group included 181 men and 138 women with a median age of 63 years (range, 22-89 years). In a multivariate analysis, the serum B2M level most strongly correlated with PFS (hazard ratio, 2.11; P=0.04). In a univariate analysis, patients with serum B2M levels >1.75μg/mL (n=210) had a worse 3-year PFS rate (71.2%) than those with B2M levels <1.75μg/mL (n=109; 90.0%). Therefore, serum B2M level at the time of diagnosis is a useful prognostic indicator in DLBCL patients receiving R-CHOP.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells can be sub-classified into germinal center B cells (GCB) and non-GCB immunophenotypes. In the present study, we treated 161 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CEOP) regimen with or without rituximab, and retrospectively investigated DLBCL sub-classifications combined with assessment of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression level for their utility in the prediction of clinical efficacy. Survival analyses showed that non-GCB patients treated with R-CEOP regimen had significantly higher 5-year OS rates than the CEOP group (P = 0.033), while no statistically significant difference was observed between R-CEOP and CEOP treatments in GCB patients (P = 0.317). Prognosis was poorest for high Bcl-2 expressing non-GCB subgroup patients treated with CEOP, compared with Bcl-2 negative non-GCB CEOP patients (P = 0.044). In the R-CEOP group, Bcl-2 expression had no significant effect on prognosis for both GCB and non-GCB patients. The addition of rituximab to CEOP chemotherapy negates the adverse prognostic influence of Bcl-2 protein expression on overall survival in non-GCB DLBCL.
