Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Optimal risk stratification based on simplified geriatric assessment to predict treatment-related toxicity and survival needs to be clarified in older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study enrolled newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL (≥ 65 yr) between September 2015 and April 2018. A simplified geriatric assessment was performed at baseline using Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental ADL (IADL), and Charlson's Comorbidity Index (CCI). The primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS). RESULTS The study included 249 patients, the median age was 74 years (range, 65-88), and 125 (50.2%) were female. In multivariable Cox analysis, ADL, IADL, CCI, and age were independent factors for EFS; an integrated geriatric score was derived and the patients stratified into three geriatric categories: fit (n = 162, 65.1%), intermediate-fit (n = 25, 10.0%), and frail (n = 62, 24.9%). The established geriatric model was significantly associated with EFS (fit vs. intermediate-fit, HR 2.61, p < 0.001; fit vs. frail, HR 4.61, p < 0.001) and outperformed each covariate alone or in combination. In 87 intermediate-fit or frail patients, the relative doxorubicin dose intensity (RDDI) ≥ 62.4% was significantly associated with worse EFS (HR, 2.15, 95% CI 1.30-3.53, p = 0.002). It was related with a higher incidence of grade ≥ 3 symptomatic non-hematologic toxicities (63.2% vs. 27.8%, p < 0.001) and earlier treatment discontinuation (34.5% vs. 8.0%, p < 0.001) in patients with RDDI ≥ 62.4% than in those with RDDI < 62.4%. CONCLUSION This model integrating simplified geriatric assessment can risk-stratify older patients with DLBCL and identify those who are highly vulnerable to standard dose-intensity chemoimmunotherapy.

[PMID: 38466431 PMCID: PMC10927831 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-024-05647-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Marital status has been reported to influence the survival outcomes of various cancers, but its impact on patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the influence of marital status at diagnosis on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with MCL. METHODS The study utilized data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-18 databases, including 6437 eligible individuals diagnosed with MCL from 2000 to 2018. A 1:1 propensity matching method (PSM) minimized confounding factor. Univariate and multivariate analyses determined hazard ratios (HR). Stratified hazard models were developed for married and unmarried statuses across time intervals. RESULTS Married patients exhibited better 5-year OS and CSS rates compared to unmarried patients (54.2% vs. 39.7%, log-rank p < 0.001; 62.6% vs. 49.3%, log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that being unmarried was an independent risk factor for OS (adjusted HR 1.420, 95% CI 1.329-1.517) and CSS (adjusted HR 1.388, 95% CI 1.286-1.498). After PSM, being unmarried remained an independent risk factor for both OS and CSS. Among unmarried patients, widowed individuals exhibited the poorest survival outcomes compared to patients with other marital statuses, with 5-year OS and CSS rates of 28.5% and 41.0%, respectively. Furthermore, in the 10-year OS and CSS hazard model for widowed individuals had a significantly higher risk of mortality, with the probability of overall and cancer-specific mortality increased by 1.7-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively. CONCLUSION Marital status at diagnosis is an independent prognostic factor for MCL patients, with widowed individuals showing worse OS and CSS than those who are married, single, or divorced/separated. Adequate psychological and social support for widowed patients is crucial for improving outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow (BM) involvement is an indicator of a poor prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, few studies have evaluated the role of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement (IgR) in detecting BM involvement. Methods We evaluated the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with DLBCL based on histological BM involvement or positive BM IgR using polymerase chain reaction or next-generation sequencing. We also investigated the role of consolidative upfront autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with DLBCL and BM involvement. Results Among 624 patients, 123 (19.7%) with histological BM involvement and 88 (17.5%) with positive IgR in histologically negative BM had more advanced disease characteristics. Overall (OS) and progression-free (PFS) survival was better for patients with negative BM histology and negative IgR than that in patients with histological BM involvement (P = 0.050 and P < 0.001, respectively) and positive IgR with negative BM histology (P = 0.001 and P = 0.005, respectively). Survival rates did not differ among 82 (13.1%) patients who were treated with upfront ASCT and had histological BM involvement or positive IgR with negative BM histology. The survival outcomes were worse for patients who were not treated with upfront ASCT and for those with histological BM involvement or positive IgR, than for those with negative BM histology and negative IgR. Conclusion Patients diagnosed with DLBCL and BM involvement based on histology or IgR had aggressive clinical features and poor survival. Upfront ASCT mitigated poor prognosis due to BM involvement.

Abstract
Ferumoxytol is an ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticle that was originally approved by the FDA in 2009 for IV treatment of iron deficiency in adults with chronic kidney disease. Subsequently, its off-label use as an MRI contrast agent increased in clinical practice, particularly in pediatric patients in North America. Unlike conventional MRI contrast agents that are based on the rare earth metal gadolinium (gadolinium-based contrast agents), ferumoxytol is biodegradable and carries no potential risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. At FDA-approved doses, ferumoxytol shows no long-term tissue retention in patients with intact iron metabolism. Ferumoxytol provides unique MRI properties, including long-lasting vascular retention (facilitating high-quality vascular imaging) and retention in reticuloendothelial system tissues, thereby supporting a variety of applications beyond those possible with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). This Clinical Perspective describes clinical and early translational applications of ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in children and young adults through off-label use in a variety of settings, including vascular, cardiac, and cancer imaging, drawing on the institutional experience of the authors. In addition, we describe current advances in pre-clinical and clinical research using ferumoxytol in cellular and molecular imaging as well as the use of ferumoxytol as a novel potential cancer therapeutic agent.

Diagnostic performance of prospective same-day 18F-FDG PET/MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in the staging and response assessment of lymphoma. Cancer Imaging 2023; 23:11. [PMID: 36694244 PMCID: PMC9872391 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-023-00520-7] [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: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate staging and response assessment are essential for prognosis and to guide treatment in patients with lymphoma. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of FDG PET/MRI versus FDG PET/CT in adult patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin and Non- Hodgkin lymphoma. METHODS In this single centre study, 50 patients were prospectively recruited. FDG PET/MRI was performed after staging FDG PET/CT using a single injection of 18F-FDG. Patients were invited to complete same-day FDG PET/MRI with FDG PET/CT at interim and end of treatment response assessments. Performance was assessed using PET/CT as the reference standard for disease site identification, staging, response assessment with Deauville score and concordance in metabolic activity. RESULTS Staging assessment showed perfect agreement (κ = 1.0, P = 0) between PET/MRI and PET/CT using Ann Arbor staging. There was excellent intermodality correlation with disease site identification at staging (κ = 0.976, P < 0.001) with FDG PET/MRI sensitivity of 96% (95% CI, 94-98%) and specificity of 100% (95% CI, 99-100%). There was good correlation of disease site identification at interim assessment (κ = 0.819, P < 0.001) and excellent correlation at end-of-treatment assessment (κ = 1.0, P < 0.001). Intermodality agreement for Deauville scores was good at interim assessment (κ = 0.808, P < 0.001) and excellent at end-of-treatment assessment (κ = 1.0, P = 0). There was good-excellent concordance in SUV max and mean between modalities across timepoints. Minimum calculated radiation patient effective dose saving was 54% between the two modalities per scan. CONCLUSION With high concordance in disease site identification, staging and response assessment, PET/MR is a potentially viable alternative to PET/CT in lymphoma that minimises radiation exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) measured from fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET can be useful for determining the prognosis of patients with lymphoma. Stratifying patients into high- and low-TMTV risk groups requires a cutoff point, which is determined through the dichotomization method. This study investigated whether different TMTV dichotomization methods influenced survival prediction in patients with lymphoma. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 129 patients with lymphoma who had undergone baseline 18F-FDG PET. TMTV was calculated using a fixed standardized uptake value threshold of 4.0. A total of six methods were employed to determine the optimal TMTV cutoff point using receiver-operating characteristic curve analyses, X-Tile bioinformatics software, and the Cutoff Finder web application. The prognostic performance of each method in survival prediction was examined. RESULTS The median (interquartile range) TMTV was 123 cm3 (21-335 cm3). The optimal TMTV cutoff values for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were in the range of 144-748 cm3. The cutoff points were used to dichotomize patients into two groups with distinct prognoses. All TMTV dichotomizations were significantly predictive of PFS and OS. The survival curves showed significant differences between the high- and low-TMTV groups. The C-indices of the survival models did not significantly differ in any of the dichotomizations. CONCLUSION The prognostic significance of TMTV was maintained regardless of the methodological aspects of dichotomization. However, the optimal TMTV cutoff point varied according to the chosen dichotomization method. Care should be taken when establishing an optimal TMTV cutoff point for clinical use.
