A New Prognostic Index for Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma:Incorporation of Serum β-2 Microglobulin to PINK. Cancer Res Treat 2023; 55:314-324. [PMID: 35381163 PMCID: PMC9873344 DOI: 10.4143/crt.2022.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Prognostic Index for Natural Killer Lymphoma (PINK) is the most widely accepted prognostic model for patients withextranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) treated with non-anthracycline-based therapy. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic implications of serum β-2 microglobulin (β2M) in the context of PINK and proposed a new prognostic model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 138 patients who were newly diagnosed with ENKTL and treated with non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy were identified. The cut-off value of high serum β2M was calculated by maximal-chi square methods (4.1 mg/L). A new prognostic model incorporating serum β2M into PINK was proposed and validated in an independent validation cohort (n=88). RESULTS The patients' median age was 53.5 years (range, 19 to 80 years). Patients with high serum β2M levels had significantly worse overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). In multivariate analysis, high serum β2M was an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS. A new PINK-B (Prognostic Index for Natural Killer Lymphoma-serum β-2 microglobulin) model stratifiedpatients into three groups with distinct OS and PFS in the training cohort (3-year OS, 84.1% [95% confidence interval, 75.1 to 94.2], 46.8% [36.1 to 60.8] and 17.6% [6.3 to 49.2] for the low-, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively; 3-year PFS, 70.6% [59.4 to 83.8], 35.9% [25.9 to 49.8], and 7.35% [1.1 to 46.7] for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, respectively). The PINK-B model was further validated in an independent cohort. CONCLUSION Serum β2M is an independent prognostic factor for ENKTL patients. The new serum β2M-based prognostic model may be useful for identifying ultra-high-risk patients, and it can easily be adopted into daily clinical practice.

Nomograms based on SUVmax of 18F-FDG PET/CT and clinical parameters for predicting progression-free and overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. Cancer Imaging 2021; 21:9. [PMID: 33419476 PMCID: PMC7796613 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-020-00379-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is not well established. We aimed to develop nomograms for individualized estimates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with ENKTL using 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters and clinical parameters. METHODS A total of 171 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning were retrospectively analyzed. Nomograms were constructed according to multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression. The predictive and discriminatory capacities of the nomograms were then measured using the concordance index (C-index), calibration plots, and Kaplan-Meier curves. The C-index, the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to contrast the predictive and discriminatory capacities of the nomograms against with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and Korean Prognostic Index (KPI). RESULTS Multivariate analysis demonstrated that pretreatment SUVmax≥9.5, disease stage II and III-IV, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and elevated β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) had the strongest association with unfavorable PFS and OS. In addition, hemoglobin (Hb) < 120 g/L had a tendency to be associated with PFS. Both nomogram models incorporated SUVmax, Ann Arbor stage, LDH, and β2-MG. The PFS nomogram also included Hb. The nomograms showed good prediction accuracies, with the C-indexes for PFS and OS were 0.729 and 0.736, respectively. The calibration plots for 3-year and 5-year PFS/OS reported good consistency between predicted and observed probabilities for survival time. The PFS and OS were significantly different according to tertiles of nomogram scores (p < 0.001). The C-index and AUCs of the nomograms were higher than that of IPI and KPI. Moreover, DCA showed that the predictive accuracy of the nomograms for PFS and OS were both higher than that of IPI and KPI. CONCLUSIONS This study established nomograms that incorporate pretreatment SUVmax and clinical parameters, which could be effective tools for individualized prognostication of both PFS and OS in patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL.

B2 microglobulin is a novel prognostic marker of Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Sci Rep 2018; 8:12907. [PMID: 30150635 PMCID: PMC6110724 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-31212-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2018] [Accepted: 08/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze features and explore parameters that can help to predict prognosis for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). A total of 117 patients with AITL were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariate analysis showed that β2 microglobulin (β2-M) ≥4.0 mg/L (P = 0.020), rash/pruritus (P = 0.004), performance status (PS) ≥2 (P = 0.006), age >60 years (P = 0.006) and extranodal sites (ENSs) >1 (P = 0.029) were independent risk factors for OS. Rash/pruritus (P = 0.007), age >60 years (P = 0.035) and ENSs >1 (P = 0.006) were independent risk factors for PFS. A novel prognostic model consisting of β2-M, rash/pruritus, PS, age and ENSs >1 was constructed. The model classified patients into 3 risk stratifications: low risk (0 or 1 factor), intermediate risk (2 factors), high risk (≥3 factors) and significantly stratified patients with AITL (P < 0.001). In conclusion, except for PS ≥2, age >60 years and ENSs >1 used in IPI, β2-M and rash/pruritus also indicated adverse prognosis. That we constructed model was commendably prognostic for OS and PFS.

Abstract
To identify simple non-invasive prognostic factors for extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL), we have investigated the prognostic value of pretreatment β2-microglobin to lymphocytes ratio index (βLRI) or lactate dehydrogenase to lymphocytes ratio index (LLRI), by analyzing the retrospective data from 211 ENKTL patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the cut-off value of pretreatment βLRI and LLRI. The univariate analysis indicated that Ann Arbor Stage (p = 0.008), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score (ECOG) (p = 0.009), International Prognostic Index (IPI) (p = 0.023), βLRI (p = 0.003), LLRI (p = 0.04), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio index (p = 0.025) and monocyte/granulocyte to lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.030) were significantly associated with overall survival (OS) in ENKTL patients. However, multivariate analysis demonstrated that only Ann Arbor Stage (p = 0.028), βLRI (p < 0.001) and LLRI (p = 0.006) were only correlated independently with OS. Furthermore, βLRI and LLRI based new prognostic model showed improved discrimination for stage IE/IIE upper aerodigestive tract in ENKTL patients than IPI and Korean Prognostic Index. Overall, our study concluded that new βLRI-based prognosis model is useful to stratify ENKTL patients and higher βLRI and LLRI can act as independent prognostic predictor candidates in early stage ENKTL.

Prognostic value of pretreatment serum beta-2 microglobulin level in advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma treated in the modern era. Oncotarget 2018; 7:72219-72228.

Abstract
The prognostic value of pretreatment serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2MG) level in advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients treated in the modern era has not been well established. We conducted a retrospective study involving 202 advanced classical HL (cHL) patients treated from 1998.5 to 2015.7 to evaluate the impact of serum B2MG level on prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that serum B2MG level ≥ 2.5 mg/L was an independent predictor for freedom from progression (FFP) (P = 0.001), lymphoma-specific survival (P = 0.030) and overall survival (P = 0.034). The 5-year FFP of patients with serum B2MG level ≥ 2.5 mg/L was 66.8%, compared with 89.7% in patients with B2MG level < 2.5 mg/L (P < 0.001). The traditionally used International Prognostic Score (IPS) remained prognostic for FFP (P = 0.013) but the predictive range narrowed, with 5-year FFP ranging from 90.9% to 62.3%. The 5-year FFP of the 44 patients with both IPS ≥ 3 and serum B2MG ≥ 2.5 mg/L was 50.7%, which was significantly worse than that of the 87 patients with only one of the two factors (81.9%, P < 0.001) or the 71 patients with both B2MG < 2.5 mg/L and IPS < 3 (91.1%, P < 0.001). The difference of FFP between the latter two groups was smaller but also significant (P = 0.038). In summary, our data suggest pretreatment serum B2MG level ≥ 2.5 mg/L was an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in advanced cHL patients treated in the modern era. It improves IPS in predicting the outcomes as the combination of IPS and B2MG indentified a wider prognostic range than IPS alone with a sizable number of patients in different risk groups.

Abstract
The prognostic value of serum beta-2 microglobulin for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is not well known in the rituximab era. A retrospective registry data analysis of 833 patients with de novo DLBCL treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) was conducted to establish the prognostic significance of serum beta-2 microglobulin at a ≥2.5 mg/L cutoff. Five-year progression-free survival (PFS, 76.1% vs. 41.0%; p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS, 83.8% vs. 49.2%; p < 0.001) were significantly worse in patients with elevated serum beta-2 microglobulin (n = 290, 34.8%). Furthermore, the five parameters of the International Prognostic Index, accompanying B symptoms, bone marrow involvement and impaired renal function were associated with worse PFS and OS. In multivariate analysis, elevated beta-2 microglobulin was a significant poor prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29–2.24; p < 0.001) and OS (HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.47–2.75; p < 0.001). In an independent validation cohort of 258 R-CHOP treated patients with de novo DLBCL, elevated beta-2 microglobulin levels remained a significant poor prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.23–3.32; p = 0.005) and exhibited a strong trend of association with worse OS (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 0.98–2.75; p = 0.062). The significance of serum beta-2 microglobulin levels as an independent prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL receiving R-CHOP is confirmed.

Zeng LS, Huang WT, Qiu T, Shan L, Guo L, Ying JM, Lyu N, Feng XL. Correlation between the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma. Chronic Dis Transl Med 2017; 3:252-259. [PMID: 29354808 PMCID: PMC5747496 DOI: 10.1016/j.cdtm.2017.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). Methods One hundred and four patients diagnosed with ENKTCL at the Department of Pathology, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China from November 1991 to September 2011 were included in the study. The clinicopathological features and their correlations with disease prognosis were evaluated in these patients. Results The number of effective follow-up cases was 56 (53.8%) by the end of last follow-up in October 2015. Univariate survival analysis showed that granzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression was significantly associated with a poor prognosis in ENKTCL (P = 0.033, 0.004, and 0.034, respectively), whereas platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) expression was significantly associated with a better prognosis (P = 0.034). Ki-67 overexpression (≥50%) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis (P = 0.017). Different treatment approaches were also associated with prognosis (P = 0.014); specifically, the efficacies of combination treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were significantly better than those involving radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone. Patient gender, age, tumor location, staging, the presence of B symptoms, pretreatment lactate dehydrogenase levels, and β2-microglobulin levels were not associated with the prognosis of ENKTCL (P > 0.05). However, multivariate analyses showed that the treatment approach and all the immune markers were not independent prognostic factors for ENKTCL. Conclusion Granzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression and Ki-67 overexpression (≥50%) might be adverse prognostic factors for ENKTCL, whereas PDGFRA-positivity suggested a better disease prognosis. In addition, different treatment approaches might be closely related to patient prognosis.

Serum EBV EA-IgA and VCA-IgA antibodies can be used for risk group stratification and prognostic prediction in extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma: 24-year experience at a single institution. Ann Hematol 2017; 96:1331-1342. [PMID: 28550598 PMCID: PMC5486802 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-017-3013-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2016] [Accepted: 05/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Although extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is consistently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the manifestation and prognostic value of serum EBV antibodies still remain unknown. One hundred and forty-one patients with ENKTCL were evaluated for serum EBV EA-IgA and VCA-IgA antibodies levels in the past 24 years in our institution. Their correlation with clinicopathological features, plasma EBV DNA load, and patients’ outcomes was analyzed. EBV EA-IgA ≥1:10 and VCA-IgA ≥1:160 were found in 18.4 and 16.3% of patients, respectively. They correlated with adverse ENKTCL profile and inferior overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). EA-IgA ≥1:10 was an independent prognostic factor on OS (RR = 2.276, p = 0.008) and associated with lower complete response (CR) rate (34.8 vs 70.6%, p = 0.001) and higher relapse rate in CR patients (62.5 vs 34.7%, p = 0.016). In subgroup analysis, both EA-IgA ≥1:10 and VCA-IgA ≥1:160 significantly correlated with inferior OS and PFS in patients with stage I/II, IPI score 0–1, plasma EBV DNA (+), and CR. Patients with plasma EBV DNA (+) and EA-IgA ≥1:10 (or VCA-IgA ≥1:160) had significantly shorter periods of OS and PFS in comparison with other corresponding groups. Elevated serum EBV EA-IgA and VCA-IgA levels were related to adverse ENKTCL profile and correlated with poor treatment response, early relapse, and poor prognosis in patients with ENKTCL. These findings provide convincing evidence for the use of serum EBV EA-IgA and VCA-IgA antibodies for risk group stratification and prognostic prediction in ENKTCL.

Abstract
The nasal type of extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma is a rare aggressive lymphoma with poor prognosis. To discover a successful treatment, we investigated the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy with methotrexate, etoposide, dexamethasone, and polyethylene glycol‐asparaginase (MESA). Three cycles of MESA were administered to 46 patients with new or relapsed/refractory natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma. Complete response after 3 treatment cycles was 43.5%, the overall response rate was 87%, and 2‐year overall survival was 83.4%. Complete response was significantly better for newly diagnosed patients than for patients with relapsed/refractory disease. Patients with newly diagnosed disease had a significantly better overall response rate after 1, but not after 2 or 3 treatment cycles. Overall survival and progression‐free survival did not differ over 2 years. Grade 1/2 toxicities were frequent, but MESA was associated with fewer grade 3/4 events or treatment‐related deaths. These results will require confirmation in larger prospective trials.

Beta-2 microglobulin as a significant prognostic factor and a new risk model for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Hematol Oncol 2016; 35:440-446.

Abstract
Previous reports have evaluated the prognostic value of serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2MG) level in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, its role in predicting clinical outcome of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the rituximab era has not been extensively investigated. Here, we evaluated the prognostic value of B2MG and proposed a new prognostic model including B2MG for patients with DLBCL. A total of 274 patients with newly diagnosed de novo DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed. We defined the best cutoff value as 3.2 mg/L by using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Patients with a B2MG level ≥3.2 mg/L had significantly lower overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival than those with a B2MG level <3.2 mg/L (3-year OS, 50.9% vs. 89.4%, p < 0.001; 3-year progression-free survival, 45.3% vs. 79.7%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that B2MG, age, performance status, and Ann Arbor stage were independent prognostic factors for OS. We developed a new prognostic model consisting of these four significant factors. We stratified patients into four-risk groups: low (L, 0 factor), low-intermediate (LI, 1-2 factors), high-intermediate (HI, 3 factors), high (H, 4 factors). This new prognostic model showed better risk discrimination compared with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network-International Prognostic Index (5-year OS: 100% and 23.4% vs. 100% and 27.1%, in L and H risk groups, respectively). Our study suggested that B2MG level is a significant prognostic factor in patients with DLBCL. A new prognostic index composed of age, performance status, stage, and B2MG could stratify the outcomes of patients with DLBCL effectively and appears to be a valuable risk model for these patients.

Abstract
Objective. To determine the prognostic significance of beta2 microglobulin (β2-m) concentrations in patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare disorder caused by pathologic activation of the immune system. Patients and Methods. The study population consisted of 74 patients diagnosed with HLH and 35 healthy controls. Serum β2-m levels were measured using a latex agglutination photometric immunoassay. Results. Median serum β2-m levels were significantly higher in HLH patients than in healthy controls (4.05 versus 1.5 mg/L; P < 0.001) and were significantly higher in patients with lymphoma associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) than in patients with benign disease-associated HLH (4.2 versus 3.3 mg/L; P < 0.001). Higher serum β2-m levels were positively correlated with LAHS (P = 0.005), abnormal lactate dehydrogenase concentrations (P = 0.009), and hypoalbuminemia (P = 0.003). ROC analysis showed that overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter in LAHS patients with serum β2-m levels ≥4.03 mg/L compared to <4.03 mg/L (P < 0.001). Moreover, multivariate analysis showed that serum β2-m level was an independent prognostic of OS (P = 0.034) in patients with LAHS. Conclusion. High serum β2-m levels and LAHS were associated with markedly poorer OS in patients with HLH. Serum β2-m concentration was a powerful and independent prognostic factor for OS in patients with LAHS.

Abstract
Background Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an invasive lymphoid malignancy with unfavorable survival, for which a prognostic model has not yet been validated. We hypothesized that serum apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) may serve as a novel prognostic marker for ENKTL. Patients and methods A total of 236 newly diagnosed cases of ENKTL were analyzed retrospectively. Results The optimal cutoff value for the serum ApoA-I level was determined to be 0.95 g/L. A total of 154 and 82 cases were assigned to the high and low ApoA-I groups, respectively. Patients in the low ApoA-I group tended to present with poorer clinical features, a lower complete remission rate (P=0.001), and poor median progression-free survival (P<0.001) and overall survival (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis using Cox model showed that the serum ApoA-I level was an independent prognostic marker of overall survival (P<0.001) and progression-free survival (P<0.001) for ENKTL patients. For cases in the low-risk group, as assessed by International Prognostic Index, Prognosis Index for peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, and Korean Prognostic Index, the serum ApoA-I level was able to differentiate cases with poor outcomes from cases with good outcomes. Conclusion Our results showed that the baseline serum ApoA-I level was helpful for predicting ENKTL prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with high mortality and poor prognosis despite radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The current analysis aimed to assess the pathological features, clinical features, and prognostic indicators of ENKTL. MATERIAL AND METHODS 120 ENKTL patients were analyzed for pathologic diagnosis and clinical disease manifestations from April 2007 to October 2012. Complete remission, 2-year overall survival, and progression-free survival were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with the nasal group, a greater percentage of patients in the non-nasal group intended to receive autologous stem cell transplantation had Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA, Ann Arbor stage IV, Ki-67 expression ≥ 60%, and abnormal ferroprotein and β-microglobulin levels. The rate of complete remission in the non-nasal group was higher than that in the nasal group. The overall survival rate was 74.9% at 24 months. Patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy were more likely to have disease progression compared with patients who received chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone. CONCLUSIONS Further understanding the pathological and clinical features of ENKTL will be critical for moving forward. Ki-67, β-microglobulin, EBV DNA, and primary site prognostic indicators may be useful to stratify patients into different risk groups, to gain insight into patient-specific treatments, and to potentially improve survival.

Abstract
NK/T-cell lymphomas are aggressive malignancies, and the outlook is poor when conventional anthracycline-containing regimens designed for B-cell lymphomas are used. With the advent of L-asparaginase-containing regimens, treatment outcome has significantly improved. L-asparaginase-containing regimens are now considered the standard in the management of NK/T-cell lymphomas. In advanced diseases, however, outcome remains unsatisfactory, with durable remission achieved in only about 50% of cases. Stratification of patients with advanced NK/T-cell lymphomas is needed, so that poor-risk patients can be given additional therapy to improve outcome. Conventional presentation parameters are untested and appear inadequate for prognostication when L-asparaginase-containing regimens are used. Recent evidence suggests that dynamic factors during treatment and interim assessment, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA quantification and positron emission tomography computed tomography findings, are more useful in patient stratification. The role of high-dose chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation requires evaluation in an overall risk-adapted treatment algorithm.

Abstract
Beta-2 microglobulin is synthesized in all nucleated cells and forms the light chain subunit of the major histocompatibility complex class I antigen. Despite its potential role as a convenient and non-invasive prognostic indicator in malignant lymphomas, the influence of serum β2 microglobulin is currently underestimated, and therapeutic decision making is rarely affected by this marker. Recent studies that included relatively large numbers of patients with specific histologic subtypes showed that serum β2 microglobulin is a potent prognostic marker in malignant lymphomas. In follicular lymphoma, this effort led to the incorporation of serum β2 microglobulin as an indicator in a new prognostic model. In this review, we summarize the current evidence supporting the role of serum β2 microglobulin as a prognostic factor in patients with malignant lymphoma and discuss perspectives for future investigations.

Abstract
Optimal chemotherapy regimen for Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) has not yet been defined. We retrospectively compared the outcome of 93 patients newly diagnosed with stage IE to IIE ENKTL who received gemcitabine, oxaliplatin and L-asparaginase (GELOX) (n = 40) or etoposide, vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and prednisone (EPOCH) (n = 53) as induction chemotherapy. After induction chemotherapy, the complete response (CR) rate and overall response rate (ORR) for the GELOX group were higher than those for the EPOCH group (70.0% vs. 41.5%, p = 0.007 for CR; 87.5% vs. 67.9%, p = 0.047 for ORR). The GELOX regimen resulted in significantly superior 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) (79.0% vs. 46.5%, p = 0.005) and overall survival (OS) rates (78.9% vs. 50.4%, p = 0.003). Toxicity of both regimens was acceptable. The GELOX regimen produces a better long outcome with less toxicity than the EPOCH regimen for patients with early stage ENKTL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Elevated serum beta-2 microglobulin (β2-M) has previously been reported in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. This study examined the association between serum β2-M and the prognosis of NHL and analyzed its predictive value. METHOD A total of 287 NHL patients from Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, participated in a prospective cohort study between 2008 and 2011. Overall survival (OS) was compared between NHL patients with high and normal β2-M levels using the log-rank test. Three standard Cox regression models including the International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, β2-M or IPI score+β2-M as independent variables were constructed. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves method and C index were used to examine the tendency of the models' predictive accuracy over time. RESULTS NHL patients with elevated β2-M values had worse OS (p<0.001) and higher mortality risk (HR=1.93, 95% CI 1.37-2.77, p<0.001) than patients with normal β2-M values. There were statistically significant differences between the C indexes for the models with IPI+β2-M, IPI or β2-M alone (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated an association between serum β2-M and NHL prognosis. Combining β2-M with IPI may help to improve the prognostic accuracy of NHL.

Prognostic impact of beta-2 microglobulin in patients with extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma. Ann Hematol 2014; 93:995-1000. [PMID: 24441948 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-014-2015-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2013] [Accepted: 01/07/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Although serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) has been suggested as an independent prognostic factor for several lymphoproliferative diseases, it has rarely been investigated in extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL). From a prospectively collected database, 145 patients with ENKTL were identified. Among them, a total of 101 patients were included in the analysis, with exclusion of patients without baseline serum B2M level and those did not receive anticancer therapy. Serum B2M (<3.0 vs. ≥3.0 mg/L) was analyzed for association with overall survival (OS). Seventy-nine (78 %) patients had nasal ENKTL, and 22 (22 %) had extranasal ENKTL. In overall patients, median OS was 26.7 months (95 % confidence interval (CI), not assessable), with a median follow-up of 32.4 months (range, 0.9-155.2 months). While median OS was not reached in patients with nasal ENKTL, extranasal ENKTL group had median OS of 5.1 months (95 % CI, 1.2-8.9 months; p < 0.001). Baseline serum B2M was significantly associated with OS in patients with nasal ENKTL (p < 0.001). This was consistent in limited (stages I and II) nasal ENKTL (p = 0.002) and disseminated (stages III and IV) nasal ENKTL (p = 0.02). However, there was no difference of OS in extranasal ENKTL patients (p = 0.69). In multivariate analysis including other prognostic factors, elevated serum B2M was significantly associated with poor OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.8, 95 % CI 1.7-8.2, p = 0.001, in a model including Korean Prognostic Index, and HR = 3.6, 95 % CI 1.6-8.2, p = 0.002, in a model including International Prognostic Index). In patients with nasal ENKTL, baseline serum B2M is a powerful prognostic factor. The prognostic value of B2M was independent of previously established prognostic models. Further investigations are necessary to validate the role of B2M in ENKTL.

Clinical significance of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor-α in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL): a predictive biomarker for treatment efficacy and valuable prognostic factor. Med Oncol 2013; 30:723. [PMID: 24037346 DOI: 10.1007/s12032-013-0723-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2013] [Accepted: 08/28/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an aggressive disease, and no standard treatment and validated prognostic model were established. Serum sIL-2Rα levels were measured in 94 ENKTL patients to evaluate its relationship with clinical features, treatment response, and prognosis. Serum sIL-2Rα level was 2964 ± 1613.6 ng/L in ENKTL patients, higher than in normal healthy controls (p < 0.05). Using median level (2508.5 ng/L) as cutoff, patients were divided into higher- and lower-level group (N = 47 for each). The complete remission and overall remission rate were significantly higher in lower-level group (p < 0.05). After a median follow-up time of 22.0 months, 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 60.0 and 53.0 %, respectively. Lower sIL-2Rα level significantly correlated with better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.001 and 0.002, respectively). IPI score and treatment responses after 2 cycles of chemotherapy significantly correlated with PFS and OS (p < 0.05). In a multivariate Cox regression model that included IPI score, treatment responses, and sIL-2Rα level, all three parameters were independent prognostic factors for OS (p = 0.043, 0.001, and 0.025, respectively), and the last two parameters were also independent factors for PFS (p = 0.005 and 0.005, respectively). Elevated serum sIL-2Rα level was related to poor responses to treatments and can be used as a valuable biomarker for disease activity. Moreover, serum sIL-2Rα was an independent prognostic factor for both OS and PFS. These results need to be validated in prospective trials and may support the incorporation of anti-CD25 targeted therapy into the treatment realm of ENKTL.

Abstract
Background Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) has heterogeneous clinical manifestations and prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic impact of absolute monocyte count (AMC) in ENKL, and provide some immunologically relevant information for better risk stratification in patients with ENKL. Methods Retrospective data from 163 patients newly diagnosed with ENKL were analyzed. The absolute monocyte count (AMC) at diagnosis was analyzed as continuous and dichotomized variables. Independent prognostic factors of survival were determined by Cox regression analysis. Results The AMC at diagnosis were related to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ENKL. Multivariate analysis identified AMC as independent prognostic factors of survival, independent of International Prognostic Index (IPI) and Korean prognostic index (KPI). The prognostic index incorporating AMC and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), another surrogate factor of immune status, could be used to stratify all 163 patients with ENKL into different prognostic groups. For patients who received chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy (102 cases), the three AMC/ALC index categories identified patients with significantly different survivals. When superimposed on IPI or KPI categories, the AMC/ALC index was better able to identify high-risk patients in the low-risk IPI or KPI category. Conclusion The baseline peripheral monocyte count is shown to be an effective prognostic indicator of survival in ENKL patients. The prognostic index related to tumor microenvironment might be helpful to identify high-risk patients with ENKL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate the use of a Roche serum beta-2-microglobulin (B2MG) kit for urinary B2MG measurements, and to establish reference limits for urinary B2MG/creatinine ratio from healthy individuals. DESIGN AND METHODS The Roche B2MG Tina-Quant serum kit was used to measure urinary B2MG immunoturbidimetrically. RESULTS Using human urine as a diluent, the B2MG method was linear from 73-2156 μg/L. The imprecision on a commercially available urine QC was 4.4% at a concentration of 380 μg/L. Limit of quantification at <20% CV was 40 μg/L. Method comparison with Immulite 2000 (Siemens) yielded slope=1.180 (95% CI 1.14-1.22), intercept=11.5 (95% CI -3.6-26.6), SEE=27.6 and r=0.99 (n=26) by the Deming regression analysis. The upper reference limit of B2MG/creatinine ratio determined from 195 healthy adults was 29 μg/mmol (97.5th centile). CONCLUSIONS The serum B2MG Tina Quant reagent kit is acceptable to measure urinary B2MG.
