Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma after Treatment of Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report. Hematol Rep 2023; 15:662-669.

Abstract
We report a case of a 24-year-old man who developed angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) after treatment for refractory lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma (LR-CHL). This patient was treated with the BV+AVD (brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) protocol for LR-CHL but progressed before completing chemotherapy. The pathological imaging showed the typical findings of LR-CHL at the first onset and first progression. Rescue chemotherapy and high-dose chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) were performed for refractory LR-CHL, and complete remission was achieved. However, the recurrence was suspected 6 months after AHSCT. The pathological findings of the lymph node biopsy at this time were different from those of the previous two lymph node biopsies, demonstrating findings of AITL. The finding of the immunohistochemical staining and polymerase chain reaction results supported the diagnosis. Although it has been reported that the risk for the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma after treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma is increased, most are B-cell lymphomas, and few cases of AITL have been reported. AITL is a type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma that generally occurs in middle-aged and elderly people and that rarely occurs in young people. Here, we were able to make an accurate diagnosis by performing re-examination even when recurrence of LR-CHL was suspected. As there are no detailed case reports of AITL developing into secondary non-Hodgkin lymphoma, here we report on an identified case.

Incidence, Survival Outcome, and Prognostic Nomogram of Patients with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma: a Population-based Analysis. Curr Med Sci 2022; 42:1220-1230. [PMID: 36547871 DOI: 10.1007/s11596-022-2651-z] [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: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Due to the rarity of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), very limited data concerning its incidence patterns and prognostic factors are available. This study aimed to explore the incidence, characteristics, survival outcomes, and prognostic factors of AITL. METHODS Age-adjusted incidence and temporal trends were calculated based on 1247 AITL patients from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-13 database. A total of 1525 AITL patients from the SEER-18 database and 43 patients from our single center were included for survival analysis and nomogram construction. RESULTS The age-adjusted incidence for overall cohort was 0.123 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.117-0.131) per 100 000 during 1992-2017. The overall incidence increased steeply at the rate of 15.3% (95%CI 11.0%-19.8%, P<0.001) per year during 1992-2004, but remained stable during 2004-2017 (P=0.200). Similar incidence trends were observed in age, sex, and stage subgroups. The final nomograms consisted of four variables: age at diagnosis, sex, Ann Arbor stage, and primary site. The concordance index (C-index) of the nomogram for 5-year overall survival prediction was 0.717, 0.690 and 0.820 in the training cohort, validation cohort-1 and cohort-2, respectively. Regarding the disease-specific survival (DSS), the nomogram also demonstrated a good discrimination level, with the C-index for predicting the probability of DSS at 5 years of 0.716, 0.682 and 0.813 for the three cohorts, respectively. The calibration displayed good concordance between the nomogram-predicted and actual observed outcomes. CONCLUSION The age-adjusted incidence for AITL was low during 1992-2017. The incidence continuously increased during 1992-2004, but remained stable during 2004-2017. The nomograms as proposed may provide a favorable and accurate prognostic survival prediction in AITL.

Abstract
Objective To explore prognostic factors and develop an accurate prognostic prediction model for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Methods Clinical data from Chinese patients with newly diagnosed AITL were retrospectively analysed. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method survival curves; prognostic factors were determined using a Cox proportional hazards model. The sensitivity and specificity of the predicted survival rates were compared using area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results The estimated 5-year OS and PFS of 55 eligible patients with AITL were 22% and 3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of pneumonia, and serous cavity effusions at initial diagnosis were significant prognostic factors for OS. Based on AUC ROC values, our novel prognostic model was superior to IPI and PIT based models and suggested better diagnostic accuracy. Conclusions Our prognostic model based on pneumonia, and serous cavity effusions at initial diagnosis enabled a balanced classification of AITL patients into different risk groups.

Abstract
Background The incidence of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma is rare worldwide, and it has a poor prognosis. There is no proven or standard first-line therapy that works for the majority of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma because of the rarity of this disease. The treatment and management are challenging for clinicians. Case presentation This report presents the diagnosis and treatment of a 65-year-old Chinese man who presented with cough and lymph node swellings in the left axillary region. The patient was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. He underwent eight cycles of chemotherapy with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, prednisone) followed by TOMO radiotherapy (helical tomotherapy, a kind of radiotherapy for cancer treatment using spiral computed tomographic scanning). After treatment, the therapeutic effects were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography about every 3 months. The patient recovered well with no sign of tumor recurrence and no obvious severe treatment-related adverse effects. Conclusion This treatment experience indicates an essential role for the combination of radiation therapy with CHOP, which may have a better prognosis than treatments without radiation therapy. But challenges warrant further validation in prospective studies.

Abstract
Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐positive B cells have been detected in 66%‐86% of patients with angioimmunoblastic T‐cell lymphoma (AITL). However, it remains controversial whether EBV status has an impact on the survival of patients with AITL. In this study, we aimed to reevaluate the impact of EBV on the clinicopathological characteristics of AITL. In particular, we focused on the impact of EBV in younger patients with AITL. In total, 270 cases of AITL were studied. Epstein‐Barr virus‐positive B cells were detected in 191 (71%) cases (EBER+ group). Among the patients who received anthracycline‐based therapy, the EBER status did not affect the overall survival (OS) or progression‐free survival (PFS). In the younger group of AITL (≤60 years), PFS was significantly worse in the EBER− group compared to the EBER+ group (P = .0013). Furthermore, the multivariate analysis identified EBER‐negative status, thrombocytopenia, and elevated serum IgA level as significant adverse prognostic factors for PFS (P < .001, P < .001, and P = .002). Based on these findings, we constructed new prognostic model for the younger group, based on three adverse factors. We classified the patients into two risk groups: low risk (no or 1 adverse factor) and high risk (2 or 3 adverse factors). This new model for younger patients with AITL showed that both OS and PFS were significantly related to the level of risk (P < .0001). In summary, this study showed that, among younger patients with AITL, an EBER+ status significantly improved prognosis compared to an EBER− status. Our new prognostic model should be applicable to younger patients with AITL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are generally aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas that portend poor prognosis with currently available therapies. Bexarotene, a retinoic acid derivative, has efficacy in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, but its activity in PTCL is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective, single-institution, review of off-label bexarotene therapy in patients with PTCL between 2005 and 2016. RESULTS Twelve patients were treated with bexarotene as monotherapy: 3 patients with PTCL, not otherwise specified, and 9 patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Bexarotene doses of 300 mg/m2 daily or 150 mg/m2 were used for all patients. The treatment was well-tolerated. The most common toxicities included hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia, which were effectively managed. The overall response rate for all patients was 58% with a median duration of response of 11 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 months to not estimable). Among patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, there was a 44% overall response rate. The median progression-free survival for all patients was 2.1 months (95% CI, 1.1 months to not estimable), and the median overall survival was 14.9 months (95% CI, 2.1-73.1 months). CONCLUSION Bexarotene monotherapy is well-tolerated and has encouraging activity in PTCL that warrants further investigation in prospective clinical trials.

Abstract
Because there are few studies regarding the clinical impact of circulating EBV-DNA in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs), we tried to evaluate the role of EBV-DNA in whole blood as a prognostic factor for PTCL. We retrospectively reviewed 110 PTCL patients with median age of 63 (20-94) years. Forty-seven patients (42.7%) showed positive results for EBV-DNA, and these patients also had stage III/IV disease, elevated lactic dehydrogenase, and low albumin level (P = 0.007, P = 0.004, P = 0.002, respectively). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were 21.0% and 18.0%. Univariable analysis showed that positive EBV-DNA was related with inferior OS and PFS (P = 0.015 and P < 0.001, respectively). Multivariable analysis showed that poor performance status, extranodal involvement more than one site and positive EBV-DNA results were related with OS and PFS (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.007 and P = 0.001, P = 0.002, P < 0.001, respectively). Using these three variables, we made a new prognostic model which classified patients on risk as follows: low, no adverse factors; intermediate, 1 factor; or high, 2-3 factors. The new prognostic model could stratify the three groups for OS and PFS better than either international prognostic index or prognostic index of PTCL-u, and showed statistical significance in PTCL, not otherwise specified. This study suggests that whole blood EBV-DNA is related with aggressive clinical characteristics and inferior survival. The new prognostic model, which incorporates EBV-DNA, could better stratify PTCL patients.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a major subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Due to its low incidence, the characteristics of AITL are still not well understood. The prognostic evaluation of this disease has not been established.We retrospectively analyzed 52 patients with newly diagnosed AITL in China between January 2008 and September 2016.Among these patients, the median age at diagnosis was 62 (40-83) and 58% (30/52) of the patients were older than 60 years. Thirty-five patients were male, accounting for 67.3% of the whole. Among these, 90% (47/52) of the diagnoses were estimated at advanced stage. A total of 25 (48%) patients were scored >1 by the ECOG performance status. Systemic B symptoms were described in 34 (65%) patients. When evaluated by International Prognostic Index (IPI), 81% were scored >2, and 77% got >1 score according to the prognostic index for PTCL (PIT) upon diagnosis. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 44% and the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 52%. IPI and PIT scores could not be effectively applied to stratify those AITL patients into subgroups. Our multivariate analysis results found that the elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level was an independent adverse factor to the OS of the AITL patients.Patients with AITL had a poor outcome. The serum level of CRP may be applied as an independent prognostic factor for AITL.

Nasal NK/T cell lymphoma presents with long-term nasal blockage and fever: a rare case report and literature review. Oncotarget 2017; 7:9613-7. [PMID: 26885897 PMCID: PMC4891064 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.7386] [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: 12/10/2015] [Accepted: 01/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
NK/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a common disease which is a threat to human health. Nasal NKTCL is a rare but serious type of systemic lymphoma because of its high mortality rate and serious complications. In this case report, we describe a male who presented with nasal blockage in the right side, a fever of one month duration and a soy-like, painless and gradually increasing mass in the right submandibular region due to nasal NKTCL. The patient had no significant medical history and the initial clinical symptoms were nasal blockage. Contrast computed tomography showed that the nasopharyngeal mucosa was thickened and that the celiac and retroperitoneal lymphaden was intumescent. Finally a biopsy, guided by nasal endoscopy and examined using flow cytometry confirmed a diagnosis of NKTCL. Nasal NKTCL is rare and has no unique characteristics at first presentation, such as epidemiology and obvious clinical manifestation. As no effective therapy is currently available for this disease, early diagnosis and therapy of nasal NKTCL remains challenging.

Abstract
T-cell lymphomas are rare and aggressive malignancies associated with poor outcome, often because of the development of resistance in the lymphoma against chemotherapy as well as intolerance in patients to the established and toxic chemotherapy regimens. In this review article, we discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, current standard of care, and future treatments of common types of T-cell lymphomas, including adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, aggressive NK/T-cell lymphoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Silent information regulator type-1 (SIRT1) is the best-studied member of the Sirtuin (Sir2) family of nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent class III histone deacetylases (HDACs). Rrecently, it is suggested that SIRT1 may be involved in the development of malignant tumors including mouse lymphoma, but has not yet been explored in Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and the prognostic impact of SIRT1 expression in AITL. Immunohistochemical expression of SIRT1, p53 were evaluated by using a 2 mm core from 45 AITL patients. Positive expression of SIRT1 was seen in 71.11% (32 of 45) of patients and p53 expression were seen in 53.33% (24 of 45). SIRT1 and p53 expression were significantly associated with shorter PFS by univariate analysis (P=0.009 and P < 0.001, respectively), multivariate analysis also shows that SIRT1 expression relate to worse prognosis. We also suggest inferior survival in AITL with the combined expression of SIRT1 and clinical characteristics of high IPI scores, high clinical stage, increased serum LDH, decreased HGB and increased γ-Globulin. In conclusion, our results indicate that SIRT1 is strongly expressed in AITL and it act as a clinically significant prognostic indicator for AITL patients, may also serve as a therapeutic target in AITL.
