Predictive value of prognostic nutritional index as prognostic biomarkers in patients with lymphoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Transl Oncol 2024:10.1007/s12094-024-03687-y. [PMID: 39217595 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-024-03687-y] [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: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several research have indicated the significant potential of the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) as a prognostic biomarker in lymphoma patients. However, there is some inconsistency in the findings of a few studies. Hence, to offer a thorough evaluation of the predictive significance of PNI in lymphoma patients, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the prognostic value of PNI for survival outcomes in lymphoma patients. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search for pertinent works published up until December 2023 in databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. We obtained hazard ratio (HR) data related to survival outcomes and computed aggregated HRs with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the correlation between PNI and both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in lymphoma patients. RESULTS By analyzing data from 1260 patients in 28 studies, we found that PNI levels were associated with prognosis in lymphoma patients. High PNI levels predicted that patients had longer OS (HR: 0.46, 95% CI 0.37-0.58, P < 0.05) and better PFS (HR: 0.56, 95% CI 0.45-0.70, P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed that the predictive ability of PNI for patient prognosis may differ depending on the type of lymphoma. In addition, we found that the critical PNI value had greater predictive potential at 40-45 and above 45. CONCLUSION Our study suggests a strong association between PNI and prognostic outcomes in lymphoma patients, indicating that PNI holds substantial prognostic value in this population.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon malignancy that is characterized by Hodgkin or Reed-Sternberg cells. Cardiac implications of HL remain one of the least investigated subjects. There are few case reports in the literature of cardiac tamponade in HL patients. We describe a case of a 21-year-old female patient who presented with cardiac tamponade as an initial presentation of HL. Any pericardial effusion significant for tamponade requires immediate drainage and fluid analysis for thorough investigation. Prompt identification and timely intervention are crucial in effectively addressing these complex situations. Therefore, clinicians should maintain heightened awareness in such cases.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) represents a neoplasm primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, necessitating the development of precise diagnostic and monitoring tools. Specifically, classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), comprising 90% of cases, necessitating tailored treatments to minimize late toxicities. Although positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has enhanced response assessment, its limitations underscore the urgency for more reliable progression predictive tools. Genomic characterisation of rare Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells is challenging but essential. Recent studies employ single-cell molecular analyses, mass cytometry, and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to unveil mutational landscapes. The integration of liquid biopsies, particularly circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), extracellular vesicles (EVs), miRNAs and cytokines, emerge as groundbreaking approaches. Recent studies demonstrate ctDNA's potential in assessing therapy responses and predicting relapses in HL. Despite cHL-specific ctDNA applications being relatively unexplored, studies emphasize its value in monitoring treatment outcomes. Overall, this review underscores the imperative role of liquid biopsies in advancing HL diagnosis and monitoring.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, often presents with painless lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms. This case report details the diagnostic journey of a 27-year-old non-smoker female with chronic respiratory symptoms, including persistent cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss over two years. Despite multiple treatments for presumed infections and extensive diagnostic procedures, the correct diagnosis of HL was delayed due to atypical pulmonary manifestations, notably necrotizing pneumonia and multiple cavitary lung lesions. Ultimately, histopathology from a third bronchoscopy confirmed HL, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing HL with unusual presentations. Patients with cavitary lesions have a poor prognosis compared to others with typical pulmonary involvement, as cavitation in HL is likely caused by central ischemia necrosis due to the tumor's rapid growth. This case can be considered a primary pulmonary HL, a rare and hard-to-treat presentation since it does not respond well to radiotherapy. It emphasizes the challenge in diagnosing HL when it presents atypically, making it crucial to consider HL in differential diagnoses to avoid delayed diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV+) inflammatory follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by spindle-shaped follicular dendritic cells, marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, and a consistent link to EBV. While it typically affects the liver and spleen, it is exceptionally rare in the digestive tract. We present a special case of EBV + inflammatory FDC sarcoma arising in the colon with clonal immunoglobulin (IG) gene rearrangement. Case presentation A 70-year-old man presented with a one-month history of abdominal distension. Colonoscopy revealed a pedunculated polyp in the ascending colon, which was subsequently removed via endoscopic polypectomy. Histological examination of the colonic polyp demonstrated a pronounced lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with scattered EBV + neoplastic cells, as evidenced by EBV-encoded small RNA in situ hybridization (EBER ISH). The neoplastic cells were positive for FDC-specific markers, including CD21, CD35, and CD23. Additionally, the tumor exhibited clonal rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene. The diagnosis was confirmed as EBV + inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. Conclusions We described an exceptional case of EBV + inflammatory FDC sarcoma presenting as a colonic polyp, featuring a clonal IGH gene rearrangement not previously documented in this colonic tumor type. Heightened awareness of this rare neoplasm within the gastrointestinal tract is essential for both accurate diagnosis and effective patient management.

Abstract
Lymphoma is a dissimilar collection of malignant neoplasms arising from the clonal propagation of lymphocytes. It is conventionally classified into two categories: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to analyze the temporal patterns in the incidence of lymphoma worldwide over the past few decades and forecast the future trends from 2020 to 2044. Data on HL and NHL were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. In an effort to estimate the incidence rate trend, the Joinpoint regression analysis model was exploited. What's more, to project the disease burden by 2044, the Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis was employed. In 2019, higher incidence rates were observed in males and the elderly for both subtypes. Over the last three decades, a significant decline in the age-standardized incidence rate of HL was observed, while NHL has shown an increasing trend. By 2044, the age-standardized incidence rate of HL is anticipated to decrease in males and increase in females, while that of NHL is expected to rise. This study presents a new assessment of the spatiotemporal distributions of lymphoma. Significant emphasis should be placed on the effective management and long-term monitoring of patients to mitigate the potential future impact of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors who received chest radiotherapy are at risk for breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, but screening adherence is low. We assessed the acceptability/feasibility of a web-based educational intervention and its impact on knowledge of health risks and screening. METHODS HL survivors were randomized to either an interactive online educational intervention or handouts only. Surveys were completed at baseline and 3 months post-intervention. We described the acceptability/feasibility of the intervention and compared knowledge between groups. RESULTS Fifty-two HL survivors participated; 27 in the intervention group and 25 in the control group. Eighteen (66%) intervention participants completed the intervention and reported high acceptability (89-100%). At baseline, adherence to breast cancer screening was low across all participants. Post-intervention, those in the intervention group more often than controls correctly identified breast cancer and echocardiogram screening guidelines (35% vs. 28%, P = 0.02 and 82% vs. 52%, P = 0.04) and reported knowing how to address potential complications from cancer treatments (87% vs. 64%, P = 0.03). We detected no increase in screening behavior post-intervention. CONCLUSION Online education modules for high-risk HL survivors are an acceptable method to improve knowledge of health risks and screening guidelines. Future interventions should focus on improving screening uptake in this population. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Web-based learning can be useful in increasing cancer survivor knowledge of their unique risks and screening recommendations but does not necessarily change patient behavior. Involvement in a cancer survivorship program can help assess individual barriers and monitor uptake of screening.

Abstract
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a B-cell neoplasm that typically manifests with gradual lymphadenopathy progression over weeks to months. However, we present an exceptional case of Hodgkin's lymphoma marked by an unusually rapid development of lymphadenopathy within an hour. A 30-year-old male presented with a left neck swelling that occurred within an hour and then remained stable in size for three days, prompting an investigation revealing widespread lymphadenopathy consistent with Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case outlines the importance of recognizing and investigating unusual presentations of Hodgkin's lymphoma promptly, emphasizing the necessity for expedited diagnosis and intervention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma with an incidence of 2-3 cases per 100,000 population affects the Central Nervous System in 0.02 % of cases (Gerstner et al., 2008; Brice et al., 2021; Morawa et al., 2007). CNS lymphoma, contributing to 0.22 % of Central Nervous System tumors, is the uncommon extra-nodal manifestation of Hodgkin's Disease (Brice et al., 2021; Henkenberens et al., 2014). It affects the nervous system secondary to systemic lymphoma or the relapse of the disease (Gerstner et al., 2008). Only 17 cases of CNS lymphoma are reported which were limited to the CNS at the time of diagnosis (Paul et al., 2017). Only two cases of Dural-Based Hodgkin Lymphoma were reported in the literature (Paul et al., 2017). CASE PRESENTATION We are reporting the third case of dural-attached extra-axial secondary CNS Hodgkin Lymphoma in a 33 years old female, which appeared and was operated as Left Sphenoid Wing Meningioma. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Only 17 cases of CNS lymphoma are reported which were limited to the CNS at the time of diagnosis (Paul et al., 2017). Only two cases of Dural-Based Hodgkin Lymphoma were reported in the literature (Paul et al., 2017). Our case consists the third case of dural attached Classic CNS Hodgkin lymphoma and the first case of Classic CNS Hodgkin Lymphoma locating in the Sphenoid Wing. CONCLUSION It is important to differentiate CNS Hodgkin Lymphoma from other types of brain tumors especially when it resides in an unusual location because the treatment of CNS Hodgkin Lymphoma is mainly combined chemo-radiotherapy than surgical intervention.

Abstract
CD47 is a cell-surface ligand that is overexpressed in various malignancies and that binds to SIRPα on macrophages to promote tumor cell evasion of phagocytosis. Blocking the CD47-SIRPα axis can increase the phagocytosis of macrophages to exert antitumor effects. CD47-based immunotherapy is a current research focus. The combination of anti-CD47 antibodies with other drugs has shown encouraging response rates in patients with hematological tumors, but side effects also occur. Bispecific antibodies and SIRPα/Fc fusion proteins appear to balance the efficacy and safety of treatment. We review the latest clinical research advances and discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with CD47-based immunotherapy for hematological malignancies.

Abstract
The interaction between cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) and signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) protects healthy cells from macrophage attack, which is crucial for maintaining immune homeostasis. Overexpression of CD47 occurs widely across various tumor cell types and transmits the "don't eat me" signal to macrophages to avoid phagocytosis through binding to SIRPα. Blockade of the CD47-SIRPα axis is therefore a promising approach for cancer treatment. Lymphoma is the most common hematological malignancy and is an area of unmet clinical need. This review mainly described the current strategies targeting the CD47-SIRPα axis, including antibodies, SIRPα Fc fusion proteins, small molecule inhibitors, and peptides both in preclinical studies and clinical trials with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most common lymphomas, with an incidence of 3 per 100,000 persons. Current treatment uses a cocktail of genotoxic agents, including adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD), along with or without radiotherapy. This treatment regimen has proved to be efficient in killing cancer cells, resulting in HL patients having a survival rate of >90% cancer-free survival at five years. However, this therapy does not have a specific cell target, and it can induce damage in the genome of non-cancerous cells. Previous studies have shown that HL survivors often exhibit karyotypes characterized by complex chromosomal abnormalities that are difficult to analyze by conventional banding. Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) is a powerful tool to analyze complex karyotypes; we used M-FISH to investigate the presence of chromosomal damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes from five healthy individuals and five HL patients before, during, and one year after anti-cancer treatment. Our results show that this anti-cancer treatment-induced genomic chaos that persists in the hematopoietic stem cells from HL patients one year after finishing therapy. This chromosomal instability may play a role in the occurrence of second primary cancers that are observed in 10% of HL survivors. This chapter will describe a protocol for utilizing M-FISH to study treatment-induced genome chaos in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients, following a brief discussion.

Abstract
Blood cancer, also known as hematological malignancy, is one of the devastating types of cancer that has significantly paved its mortality mark globally. It persists as an extremely deadly cancer type and needs utmost attention owing to its negligible overall survival rate. Major challenges in the treatment of blood cancer include difficulties in early diagnosis, as well as severe side effects resulting from chemotherapy. In addition, immunotherapies and targeted therapies can be prohibitively expensive. Over the past two decades, scientists have devised a few nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems aimed at overcoming this challenge. These therapeutic strategies are engineered to augment the cellular uptake, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness of anticancer drugs. However, there are still numerous types of nanoparticles that could potentially improve the efficacy of blood cancer treatment, while also reducing treatment costs and mitigating drug-related side effects. To the best of our knowledge, there has been limited reviews published on the use of nano-based drug delivery systems for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Therefore, we have made a concerted effort to provide a comprehensive review that draws upon recent literature and patents, with a focus on the most promising results regarding the use of nanoparticle-based approaches for the treatment of hematological malignancies. All these crucial points covered under a common title would significantly help researchers and scientists working in the area.

Abstract
Symptomatic pericardial effusion occurring as the initial manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma is exceedingly uncommon, and there are limited documented instances in the available literature. Pericardial effusion can present various differential diagnoses, and among these, malignancy is an important yet less frequently encountered cause. A heightened level of suspicion is crucial for establishing an accurate diagnosis, particularly when the patient's clinical course deviates from the anticipated trajectory. Through this case, we aim to emphasize the significance of considering lymphoproliferative diseases as a pertinent possibility in the differential diagnosis of pericardial effusion. Additionally, we underscore the importance of promptly reaching a diagnosis, as it can help prevent severe complications and enhance the patient's prognosis.

Abstract
We describe a rare case of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in a 20-year-old female patient. She presented to our hospital with chest wall swelling after months of post-chest trauma management. The swelling was initially treated as an infected hematoma, and the patient was referred for surgical evacuation. During the surgery, the swelling was found to be a mass that extended to the mediastinum. A biopsy was taken, which later resulted in the diagnosis of a granular cell tumor (GCT). A decision on surgical resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was taken after discussion with the multidisciplinary team of surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, oncology, pathology, and radiology. During the surgery, a frozen section biopsy was taken, which showed no features of lymphoma or granular cell tumors. The surgery was followed by a midline sternotomy to control the bleeding from an accidentally injured major vessel. The bleeding was controlled, and the mass was dissected and sent for histopathological examination. The histopathology showed nodular classical HL features, and the patient was referred for chemotherapy. In our case, the patient was initially diagnosed with GCT, but with complete resection and an adequate biopsy, the mass was found to be a classical HL. Possible cross-cellularity is questioned, and the possible correlation between the two findings encouraged us to report this case.

Abstract
The immune-cell origin of hematologic malignancies provides a unique avenue for the understanding of both the mechanisms of immune responsiveness and immune escape, which has accelerated the progress of immunotherapy. Several categories of immunotherapies have been developed and are being further evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of blood cancers, including stem cell transplantation, immune checkpoint inhibitors, antigen-targeted antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, tumor vaccines, and adoptive cell therapies. These immunotherapies have shown the potential to induce long-term remission in refractory or relapsed patients and have led to a paradigm shift in cancer treatment with great clinical success. Different immunotherapeutic approaches have their advantages but also shortcomings that need to be addressed. To provide clinicians with timely information on these revolutionary therapeutic approaches, the comprehensive review provides historical perspectives on the applications and clinical considerations of the immunotherapy. Here, we first outline the recent advances that have been made in the understanding of the various categories of immunotherapies in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. We further discuss the specific mechanisms of action, summarize the clinical trials and outcomes of immunotherapies in hematologic malignancies, as well as the adverse effects and toxicity management and then provide novel insights into challenges and future directions.

Radiol Oncol 2023; 57:150-157. [PMID: 37341195 DOI: 10.2478/raon-2023-0021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to analyse if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can act as a non-radiation exposure surrogate for (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in children with histologically confirmed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) before treatment. This was done by analysing a potential correlation between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in MRI and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in FDG-PET/CT. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen patients (six female, eleven male, median age: 16 years, range: 12-20 years) with histologically confirmed HL were retrospectively analysed. The patients underwent both MRI and (18)F-FDG PET/CT before the start of treatment. (18)F-FDG PET/CT data and correlating ADC maps in MRI were collected. For each HL-lesion two readers independently evaluated the SUVmax and correlating meanADC. RESULTS The seventeen patients had a total of 72 evaluable lesions of HL and there was no significant difference in the number of lesions between male and female patients (median male: 15, range: 12-19 years, median female: 17 range: 12-18 years, p = 0.021). The mean duration between MRI and PET/CT was 5.9 ± 5.3 days. The inter-reader agreement as assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was excellent (ICC = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99). The correlated SUVmax and meanADC of all 17 patients (ROIs n = 72) showed a strong negative correlation of -0.75 (95% CI: -0.84, - -0.63, p = 0.001). Analysis revealed a difference in the correlations of the examination fields. The correlated SUVmax and meanADC showed a strong correlation at neck and thoracal examinations (neck: -0.83, 95% CI: -0.93, - -0.63, p < 0.0001, thoracal: -0.82, 95% CI: -0.91, - -0.64, p < 0.0001) and a fair correlation at abdominal examinations of -0.62 (95% CI: -0.83, - -0.28, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SUVmax and meanADC showed a strong negative correlation in paediatric HL lesions. The assessment seemed robust according to inter-reader agreements. Our results suggest that ADC maps and meanADC have the potential to replace PET/CT in the analysis of disease activity in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma patients. This may help reduce the number of PET/CT examinations and decrease radiation exposure to children.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT) is the preferred treatment option in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). We analyzed the association between treatment intensity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), depressive symptoms, and chronic fatigue (CF) in long-term survivors of HL (HLS), identified in two population-based national cross-sectional studies on late adverse effects. We included 375 HLS treated between 1987 and 2006, 264 with conventional therapy only, and 111 with HDT-ASCT. Despite similar differences to the matched general population, when controlling for other imbalances between the groups, use of HDT-ASCT was not associated with poorer outcome in multivariable analysis. However, work participation, family income, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors had stronger associations with aspects of HRQoL, depressive symptoms, and CF. Our data suggest that better rehabilitation to work participation and adequate income as well as follow-up for comorbidities may reduce differences in long-term outcome after treatment for HL.

Abstract
The clinical significance of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) cannot be understated. Not only does it infect approximately 90% of the world’s population, but it is also associated with numerous pathologies. Diseases linked to this virus include hematologic malignancies such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, primary CNS lymphoma, and NK/T-cell lymphoma, epithelial malignancies such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric cancer, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Graves’ disease, and lupus. While treatment for these disease states is ever evolving, much work remains to more fully elucidate the relationship between EBV, its associated disease states, and their treatments. This paper begins with an overview of EBV latency and latency-associated proteins. It will then review EBV’s contributions to select hematologic malignancies with a focus on the contribution of latent proteins as well as their associated management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The initial peak incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) occurs during reproductive years. OBJECTIVES Synthesise published literature on the relationship between HL and maternal and perinatal outcomes. SEARCH STRATEGY Systematic search of PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase and Science Direct from inception to June 2022, supplemented by hand-searching reference lists. SELECTION CRITERIA Two reviewers independently reviewed titles, abstracts and full-text articles. Published studies containing original data were eligible. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two reviewers independently extracted data and appraised study quality. Outcomes for pregnant women with a previous/current diagnosis of HL were compared separately with women never diagnosed with HL. Where data permitted, meta-analyses of odds ratios and proportions were performed. Certainty of evidence was determined using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. MAIN RESULTS Of the 5527 studies identified, 33 met the inclusion criteria. In the groups with HL before pregnancy and HL during pregnancy, adjusted odds ratios were not statistically significant for congenital malformation (aOR 1.7, 95% CI 0.9-3.1, and aOR 1.84, 95% CI 0.81-4.15, respectively), preterm birth (PTB) (aOR 0.99, 95% CI 0.65-1.51, and aOR 6.74, 95% CI 0.52-88.03, respectively) and miscarriage (aOR 0.78, 95% CI 0.55-1.10, and aOR 0.38, 95% CI 0.05-2.72, respectively). The aORs for all other outcomes were not statistically significant, except for blood transfusion (aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.05-1.82) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) (aOR 7.93, 95% CI 2.97-21.22) in the group for HL during pregnancy. The proportion of anaemia was also increased in this group (69%, 95% CI 57%-80% vs 4%, 95% CI 4%-5%, respectively). The GRADE certainty of findings ranged from low to very low. CONCLUSIONS Rates of most adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with a previous/current HL diagnosis are not increased significantly compared with the general pregnant population. Women with HL diagnosed during pregnancy may have a higher PTB rate and increased likelihood of VTE, anaemia and blood transfusion; however, small study numbers and the low to very low GRADE certainty of findings preclude firm conclusions.

Abstract
Introduction Primary intracranial malignant lymphoma (PIML) is a rare form of lymphoma that most often occurs in the brain and has an extremely low 5-year survival rate. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are widely used in the clinical management of PIML, the choice of treatment regimen and the actual circumstances of patients remain challenges when assessing survival rates in different patients. Methods Considering this, we obtained clinical treatment and survival information from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) on patients with lymphoma, the primary site of which was the brain, and performed statistical analyses of the demographic characteristics. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify independent prognostic factors. Result We identified age, pathology, the Ann Arbor stage, and treatment as the risk factors affecting patient prognosis. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years were 0.8, 0.818, and 0.81, respectively. The AUCs for cancer-specific survival at 1, 3, and 5 years were 0.8, 0.79, and 0.79. The prediction ability in the development and verification cohorts was in good agreement with the actual values, while we plotted the clinical decision curves for the model, suggesting that the nomogram can provide benefits for clinical decision-making. Conclusion Our model provides a prognostic guide for patients with PIML and a reliable basis for clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous evidence have suggested the vital role of lncRNAs in human tumorigenesis. And lncRNA APAP1-AS1 has been proved to act as an oncogene. OBJECTIVE Nevertheless, the molecular process underlying ARAP1-AS1 for the lymphoma progression has not been well studied. METHODS RT-qPCR was used to ascertain the miR-6867-5p and ARAP1-AS1 in lymphoma cells and tissues. The localization of ARAP1-AS1 was determined via subcellular fractionation analysis. A xenograft model was used to investigate the influence of ARAP1-AS1 in formation of tumor in vivo. In addition, interactions between ARAP-AS1 and miR-6867-5p were tested by bioinformatics analysis, RIP assay, luciferase reporter and Pearson's correlation analysis. Combined with loss-of-function experiments, MTT assays and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the function of miR-6867-5p and also ARAP-AS1 in proliferation and apoptosis of lymphoma cells, respectively. RESULTS ARAP1-AS1 was remarkably upregulated in lymphoma cells and tissues, while miR-6867-5p expression was downregulated. Furthermore, high ARAP1-AS1 expression suppressed miR-6867-5p expression in lymphoma cell lines (Raji and CA46), and Pearson's analysis showed negative correlation between ARAP1-AS1 expression and also miR-6867-5p expression. In addition, knockdown of ARAP1-AS1 resulted in weakened cell viability and uplifted apoptosis rate of lymphoma cells (Raji and CA46) as well as a delay in the tumor growth in vivo. Further investigations illustrated that miR-6867-5p inhibitor reversed all above biological activities. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA ARAP1-AS1 served as a tumor-promoter in lymphoma cells by sponging with miR-6867-5p, which may help to provide potential therapeutic target gene for lymphoma patients.

Comparison of Mitoxantrone-Melphalan and BEAM Conditioning Regimens in Patients with Lymphoma. Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther 2022; 15:201-207. [PMID: 33933474 DOI: 10.1016/j.hemonc.2021.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Revised: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Lymphoma is seen as a highly treatable and curable malignancy with aggressive treatment methods. Efficacy is often limited by toxicity and many patients need alternative treatment strategies as they cannot tolerate existing high cytotoxic approaches. Our aim is to compare BEAM [carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine (ARA-C, cytosine arabinoside), and melphalan] and mitoxantrone-melphalan (Mx-Mel) regimens utilized in our patients with a diagnosis of lymphoma who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and to demonstrate that the Mx-Mel regimen has similar but less toxic results than the BEAM regimen we have been using frequently as standard conditioning regimen. METHODS A total of 101 patients with lymphoma who underwent ASCT were included in our study. The BEAM regimen included BCNU, etoposide, ARA-C, and melphalan. The Mx-Mel regimen included mitoxantrone and melphalan. RESULTS Of 101 patients included in the study, 60 (59.4%) received BEAM and 41 (40.6%) received Mx-Mel (40.6%) conditioning regimen. The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 10 (range: 9-20) days and 12 (range: 9-12) days in the BEAM and Mx-Mel arms, respectively; it was statistically significantly shorter in the BEAM arm (p = .001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that the Mx-Mel regimen has similar efficacy and toxicity compared with the BEAM regimen. Although time to neutrophil engraftment was shorter in the BEAM arm, it did not result as significant transplant-related complications between the two regimens. The Mx-Mel regimen is seen as a good alternative with low toxicity and high efficacy.

Abstract
Hematological cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma have traditionally been treated with chemo and radiotherapy approaches. Introduction of immunotherapies for treatment of these diseases has led to patient remissions that would not have been possible with traditional approaches. In this critical review we identify main disease characteristics, symptoms, and current treatment options. Five common immunotherapies, namely checkpoint inhibitors, vaccines, cell-based therapies, antibodies, and oncolytic viruses, are described, and their applications in hematological cancers are critically discussed.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of prognostic markers on the outcomes of Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods: It is a cross-sectional, single-center study. A total of 60 patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma were recruited for the study over five years between 2016 to 2020. The study setting was the National Institute of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant in Pakistan. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Results: In the study population, 63.3% of the patients were male (38/60), and 36.7% were female (22/60). Hodgkin lymphoma was divided into four stages: stage I (18.3%), stage II (18.3%), stage III (46.7%), and stage IV (16.7%). Patients in stage III had a higher value of hemoglobin (Hb) than in other stages of the disease. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was high in 56.7% of stage III patients than in patients of the other stages. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were not under the normal range in 51.6% of patients. Only 20% of patients in stage III had LDH values within the normal range, whereas 26.6% did not. Conclusion: There was a significant impact of prognostic factors on the survival of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Phantom-based acquisition time and image reconstruction parameter optimisation for oncologic FDG PET/CT examinations using a digital system. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:899. [PMID: 35978274 PMCID: PMC9387080 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09993-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background New-generation silicon-photomultiplier (SiPM)-based PET/CT systems exhibit an improved lesion detectability and image quality due to a higher detector sensitivity. Consequently, the acquisition time can be reduced while maintaining diagnostic quality. The aim of this study was to determine the lowest 18F-FDG PET acquisition time without loss of diagnostic information and to optimise image reconstruction parameters (image reconstruction algorithm, number of iterations, voxel size, Gaussian filter) by phantom imaging. Moreover, patient data are evaluated to confirm the phantom results. Methods Three phantoms were used: a soft-tissue tumour phantom, a bone-lung tumour phantom, and a resolution phantom. Phantom conditions (lesion sizes from 6.5 mm to 28.8 mm in diameter, lesion activity concentration of 15 kBq/mL, and signal-to-background ratio of 5:1) were derived from patient data. PET data were acquired on an SiPM-based Biograph Vision PET/CT system for 10 min in list-mode format and resampled into time frames from 30 to 300 s in 30-s increments to simulate different acquisition times. Different image reconstructions with varying iterations, voxel sizes, and Gaussian filters were probed. Contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR), maximum, and peak signal were evaluated using the 10-min acquisition time image as reference. A threshold CNR value ≥ 5 and a maximum (peak) deviation of ± 20% were considered acceptable. 20 patient data sets were evaluated regarding lesion quantification as well as agreement and correlation between reduced and full acquisition time standard uptake values (assessed by Pearson correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient, Bland–Altman analyses, and Krippendorff’s alpha). Results An acquisition time of 60 s per bed position yielded acceptable detectability and quantification results for clinically relevant phantom lesions ≥ 9.7 mm in diameter using OSEM-TOF or OSEM-TOF+PSF image reconstruction, a 4-mm Gaussian filter, and a 1.65 × 1.65 x 2.00-mm3 or 3.30 × 3.30 x 3.00-mm3 voxel size. Correlation and agreement of patient lesion quantification between full and reduced acquisition times were excellent. Conclusion A threefold reduction in acquisition time is possible. Patients might benefit from more comfortable examinations or reduced radiation exposure, if instead of the acquisition time the applied activity is reduced.

Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common type of thyroid cancer and accounts for almost 89.4% of all thyroid carcinomas. Hodgkin lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of neoplasms and represents 10% of lymphomas. These two cancers do not share the same risk factors. Some studies have reported the association of thyroid papillary carcinoma with lymphomas, mainly Hodgkin's lymphoma, treated with radiotherapy. However, to our knowledge less than 10 cases have illustrated synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hodgkin lymphoma with no history of radiotherapy. We present the case of a 49-year-old female patient, with no history of past exposure to radiation, who was incidentally diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma during the work up for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Our patient had total thyroïdectomy with cervical lymphadenectomy. The histopathologic examination concluded to a papillary thyroid carcinoma of classical variant. And the lymph node dissection enabled us to diagnose not only papillary thyroid carcinoma's lymph node metastasis, but also Hodgkin Lymphoma. This discovery of the Hodgkin lymphoma was totally incidental. The discovery of synchronous tumors in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma has been reported in the literature. However, the diagnosis of Hodgkin through lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. This underlines the singularity and the importance of our case. The synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare condition, which may pose significant diagnostic and treatment dilemmas. To date, there is no standardized approach due to lack of experience. The molecular mechanisms of this link are poorly understood and yet remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
Leukemia and lymphoma-the most common hematological malignant diseases-are often accompanied by complications such as drug resistance, refractory diseases and relapse. Amino acids (AAs) are important energy sources for malignant cells. Tumor-mediated AA metabolism is associated with the immunosuppressive properties of the tumor microenvironment, thereby assisting malignant cells to evade immune surveillance. Targeting abnormal AA metabolism in the tumor microenvironment may be an effective therapeutic approach to address the therapeutic challenges of leukemia and lymphoma. Here, we review the effects of glutamine, arginine and tryptophan metabolism on tumorigenesis and immunomodulation, and define the differences between tumor cells and immune effector cells. We also comment on treatments targeting these AA metabolism pathways in lymphoma and leukemia and discuss how these treatments have profound adverse effects on tumor cells, but leave the immune cells unaffected or mildly affected.

Abstract
Eponyms have been traditionally used in the field of medicine to honor the contributions of an individual or group of individuals in understanding a disease. However, many eponyms have come under scrutiny given the personal backgrounds of individuals for whom they intend to honor. As we previously reviewed commonly used eponyms in medical oncology, we now aim to review commonly used eponyms in malignant hematology in order to highlight the individuals for whom they are named after. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of each disease, epidemiology, and the historical background for the individual or individuals for which the eponym honors.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment responses, toxicity, and survival among cHL patients aged ≥50 years. Methods We retrospectively identified all newly diagnosed cHL patients and only included cases who were ≥50 years old at the time of diagnosis and with data available between 1999 and 2020. Results There were 101 patients, of which 52 were between 50 and 59 years of age, and 49 patients were ≥60 years old. Sixty-two patients were male, and the most common histopathological subtype was mixed cellularity cHL (58.4%). ECOG PS, CCI, CIRS, and ACE-27 scores were significantly higher in patients aged ≥60 years than those of 50–59 age group. While all patients aged 50–59 years received ABVD as first-line therapy, 79% (n=39) of cases aged ≥60 years had ABVD. In patients receiving ABVD, 95% and 92.7% of the cases aged 50–59 and ≥60 years had CR, respectively (p=0.999). Age groups were comparable in terms of hematological and non-hematological toxicities (p=0.369, p=0.127, respectively). Although not statistically significant, median survival was longer in patients receiving a transplant than in those without transplantation (108 months vs 52 months, p=0.069). In multivariate analysis, the risk of progression was higher in patients with lymphocyte ≤600/mm3 and in those who were unresponsive to first-line therapy (p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively). Patients with B symptoms, age ≥60 years, and CIRS >3 had higher risk of mortality (p=0.001, p=0.012, p=0.038, respectively). By using these 3 parameters, we defined a new risk score, which divided our patient cohort into two as low- and high-risk groups. Low-risk patients had significantly higher survival rates than the high-risk group (83.9% vs 40.5%, p<0.001). Discussion This new prognostic score should be further tested and validated in other patient populations. Although our study has some limitations including the limited number of patients and its retrospective nature, there are not so many studies in elderly cHL patients and elderly and/or frail patients are generally excluded in most of the clinical trials. Thus, this real-life single-center experience would contribute to the literature.

Acetabular reconstruction with total hip replacement and femoral head autograft following pelvic resection of malignant bone tumour: A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2022; 96:107267. [PMID: 35716623 PMCID: PMC9213228 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2022.107267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pelvic tumors greatly impact survival and quality of life of the patient. Reconstruction following resection of neoplasms involving the acetabulum remains one of the most challenging procedures for orthopaedic surgeons. We reported an 18-year-old female with Hodgkin's lymphoma of the left iliac wing. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 18-year-old female presented left hip pain since one year before admission. Pelvis X-ray demonstrated lytic lesion on the left iliac crest with moth-eaten pattern. However, the contrast-enhanced MRI showed the true extent of the tumour which engulfed the iliac crest and extended to the anterior border of the acetabulum. The acetabulum was reconstructed using femoral head autograft and total hip replacement. At six months of follow-up, CT scan of the pelvis demonstrated no tumour. No complications occurred during 14 months of follow-up. However, the patient died 28 months post surgery. DISCUSSION In pelvic sarcomas, the utilization of this technique remains limited, as the complex anatomy and the bulk of tumour growth often limits the choice of what procedure can be conducted. Reconstruction techniques have also advanced, albeit difficult and laden with complications, especially when the lesion involves the acetabulum. CONCLUSIONS The choice of implant for pelvic resection in the developing country remains challenging due to the high cost of implants. However, in cases of pelvic sarcomas, the utilization of this technique remains limited, as the complex anatomy and the bulk of tumour growth often limits the choice of what procedure can be conducted. Reconstruction techniques have also advanced, albeit difficult and laden with complications, especially when the lesion involves the acetabulum.

Abstract
Simple Summary CD15 (Lewis X) is a typical myeloid antigen presented in myeloid and monocytic lineages of cells. This molecule interacts with E-, L- and P-selectins, which allows for adhesion with endothelial cells. CD15 is found on various cancer cells, including renal cancer, prostate and bladder cancers, acute leukaemias, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and melanoma cells. Its high expression can serve as a prognostic marker for patients and is a potentially valuable target for immunotherapy against cancer. Blockage of the antigen’s function results in reduced metastatic potential and it may be an immunotherapeutic target. CD15s is a sialyl derivative of CD15; however, unlike the high expression of CD15, which is a prognostic factor in Hodgkin lymphoma, CD15s relates to poor prognosis for patients. CD15 is considered a marker of cancer stem cells. This review presents a comprehensive description of the prognostic role of CD15 and CD15s and their use in anticancer therapy. Abstract CD15 (Lewis X/Lex) is a fucosyl (3-fucosly-N-acetyl-lactosamine) moiety found on membrane proteins of various cancer cells. These cancers include renal cancer, prostate and bladder cancers, acute leukaemias, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and melanoma. The biological role of CD15 is interaction with E-, L- and P-selectins (adhesion molecules), allowing for adhesion with endothelial cells. In this way, cancer cells start to interact with the endothelia of blood vessels and consequently move out from the blood flow to the surrounding tissues. Blockage of the antigen’s function results in reduced metastatic potential. Moreover, the molecule may be a therapeutic target against cancer in monoclonal antibody-based therapies. CD15 may serve as a prognostic marker for patients and there are high hopes for its use in the immunotherapeutic treatment of tumours. CD15s is a sialyl derivative of CD15 that possesses its own unique characteristics. Its soluble form may act as a competitive inhibitor of the interaction of cancer cells with epithelial cells and thus disallow migration through the vessels. However, the prognostic relevance of CD15 and CD15s expression is very complex. This review presents a comprehensive description of the role of CD15 and CD15s in cancer development and metastasis and overviews its significance for clinical applications.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mediastinal radiotherapy is a common practice for treating breast cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiotherapy causes cardiovascular damage and has attracted increasing attention, particularly among Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, as they receive a higher dose of radiation. PATIENT CONCERNS A 36-year-old woman with a past medical history of Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with persistent chest pain for 3 hours. She experienced exertional chest pain 1 month before when she was climbing stairs, which disappeared after a few minutes with rest, but recurred with a similar level of exertion. Three hours before admission to the emergency room, the chest pain persisted and was accompanied by diaphoresis and dyspnea. DIAGNOSIS Cardiogenic shock caused by radiotherapy-induced left main coronary artery disease. INTERVENTIONS Urgent angiography revealed left main coronary artery stenosis. Intravascular ultrasonography showed diffuse fibrous proliferation in the left main coronary artery. Hemodynamic instability was resolved after drug-eluting stent implantation. OUTCOMES The patient was discharged uneventfully 5 days after the procedure, with a prescription for dual antiplatelet and statin therapy. She was asymptomatic with good exercise tolerance at the 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy-induced isolated left main coronary artery disease is a rare complication of cancer radiotherapy and can occur years or decades after treatment. Fibrous proliferation is a characteristic pathologic change in the exposed coronary arteries.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis is responsible for the vast majority of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In contrast to numerous discoveries that reveal the detailed mechanisms leading to the formation of the primary tumor, the biological underpinnings of the metastatic disease remain poorly understood. Cancer metastasis is a complex process in which cancer cells escape from the primary tumor, settle, and grow at other parts of the body. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance of tumor cells are the main forces to promote metastasis, and multiple components in the tumor microenvironment and their complicated crosstalk with cancer cells are closely involved in distant metastasis. In addition to the three cornerstones of tumor treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, novel treatment approaches including targeted therapy and immunotherapy have been established in patients with metastatic cancer. Although the cancer survival rate has been greatly improved over the years, it is still far from satisfactory. In this review, we provided an overview of the metastasis process, summarized the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the dissemination and distant metastasis of cancer cells, and reviewed the important advances in interventions for cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Medication-induced pulmonary injury (MIPI) is a complex medical condition that has become increasingly common yet remains stubbornly difficult to diagnose. Diagnosis can be aided by combining knowledge of the most common imaging patterns caused by MIPI with awareness of which medications a patient may be exposed to in specific clinical settings. The authors describe six imaging patterns commonly associated with MIPI: sarcoidosis-like, diffuse ground-glass opacities, organizing pneumonia, centrilobular ground-glass nodules, linear-septal, and fibrotic. Subsequently, the occurrence of these patterns is discussed in the context of five different clinical scenarios and the medications and medication classes typically used in those scenarios. These scenarios and medication classes include the rheumatology or gastrointestinal clinic (disease-modifying antirheumatic agents), cardiology clinic (antiarrhythmics), hematology clinic (cytotoxic agents, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, retinoids), oncology clinic (immune modulators, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies), and inpatient service (antibiotics, blood products). Additionally, the article draws comparisons between the appearance of MIPI and the alternative causes of lung disease typically seen in those clinical scenarios (eg, connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease in the rheumatology clinic and hydrostatic pulmonary edema in the cardiology clinic). Familiarity with the most common imaging patterns associated with frequently administered medications can help insert MIPI into the differential diagnosis of acquired lung disease in these scenarios. However, confident diagnosis is often thwarted by absence of specific diagnostic tests for MIPI. Instead, a working diagnosis typically relies on multidisciplinary consensus. ©RSNA, 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several case reports of acute cholecystitis as the initial presentation of lymphoma of the gallbladder; all reports describe non-Hodgkin lymphoma or its subtypes on histopathology of the gallbladder tissue itself. Interestingly, there is no description in the literature of Hodgkin lymphoma causing hilar lymphadenopathy, inevitably presenting as ruptured cholecystitis with imaging mimicking gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
CASE SUMMARY A 48-year-old man with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus presented with progressive abdominal pain, jaundice, night sweats, weakness, and unintended weight loss for one month. Work-up revealed a mass in the region of the porta hepatis causing obstructions of the cystic and common hepatic ducts, gallbladder rupture, as well as retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. The clinical picture and imaging findings were suspicious for locally advanced gallbladder adenocarcinoma causing ruptured cholecystitis and cholangitis, with metastases to retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic duct brushings and percutaneous lymph node biopsy, were inadequate for tissue diagnosis. Therefore, this case required exploratory laparotomy, open cholecystectomy, and periaortic lymph node dissection for histopathological assessment and definitive diagnosis. Hodgkin lymphoma was present in the lymph nodes while the gallbladder specimen had no evidence of malignancy.
CONCLUSION This clinical scenario highlights the importance of histopathological assessment in diagnosing gallbladder malignancy in a patient with gallbladder perforation and a grossly positive positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan. For both gallbladder adenocarcinoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, medical and surgical therapies must be tailored to the specific disease entity in order to achieve optimal long-term survival rates.

Abstract
Introduction: While most patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are successfully cured with frontline therapy, unfortunately far too many patients have primary refractory disease or relapse after initial treatment, and outcomes for these patients remain suboptimal.Areas Covered: Treatment for relapsed/refractory (R/R) HL remains an ongoing challenge; however, the approval of brentuximab vedotin (BV) and the checkpoint inhibitors pembrolizumab and nivolumab have given us promising therapies with high response rates and improved progression free survival. We performed a literature search using PubMed on all HL studies investigating immunotherapy within the past 10 years.Expert Opinion: Both BV and checkpoint inhibitors have good single agent activity but appear more effective when given together and combine well with chemotherapy. Other novel agents under study include bispecific chimeric antibody constructs and chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T). Here we review the data supporting novel therapies and immunotherapies for R/R HL.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) versus autologous SCT (auto-SCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Medline, CENTRAL, and EMBASE databases through December 31, 2019 were searched. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates. The secondary outcomes include transplant-related mortality (TRM), event-free survival, relapse/or progression, and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). The 18 retrospective studies enrolled 8,058 B-NHL patients (allo-SCT = 1,204; auto-SCT = 6,854). The OS was significantly higher in patients receiving auto-SCT than allo-SCT (pooled odds ratio [OR]: 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29 to 2.22, P < 0.001), but no significant difference was found in PFS (pooled OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.38, P = 0.891). Auto-SCT patients also had lower TRM and NRM (TRM: OR = 0.23, P < 0.001; NRM: OR = 0.16, P < 0.001), but higher relapse or progression rate (OR = 2.37, P < 0.001) than allo-SCT patients. Subgroup analysis performed for different grades and subtypes of B-NHL showed higher OS in auto-SCT patients with high-grade B-NHL and diffused large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There was, nevertheless, higher PFS in allo-SCT patients with low-grade B-NHL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and lower PFS in allo-SCT patients with DLBCL than their auto-SCT counterparts. In conclusion, the meta-analysis demonstrated that relapsed or refractory B-NHL patients who received auto-SCT have improved OS than those treated with allo-SCT, especially among those with DLBCL, but lower PFS among those with FL. However, the study is limited by a lack of randomized trials, patients’ heterogeneity, and possible selection bias.

Abstract
Approximately 5-10% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma are refractory to initial treatment. The aim of our study was to assess the clinico-epidemiological profile, prognostic factors and treatment outcome. A retrospective study was conducted over a period of 12 years between June 2006 and January 2018 at the oncology department of Salah Azaïz Institute. Thirty-one patients were included. The median age was 27 years with a female predominance (sex ratio = 0.93).The majority had an advanced stage (61%). IGEV regimen was the most commonly used salvage chemotherapy (n = 14). Age above 30 years was predictive of treatment failure after salvage therapy (p = 0.003). IGEV regimen showed better results than ICE protocol in terms of response to salvage therapy (p = 0.048). Seven patients had salvage radiotherapy. Four patients had autologous stem cell transplant. Progressive disease (n = 12) was the main cause of non-eligibility of autologous stem cell tansplant. Overall survival and progression free survival at 3 years were 50% and 5% respectively. The prognostic factors influencing the overall survival were age above 30 years (p = 0.001), advanced Ann Arbor stage before progression (p = 0.02), advanced Ann Arbor stage of refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (p = 0.001), histological subtype (p = 0.001), CD20 expression (p = 0.027) and non-response to salvage therapy (p = 0.004). The prognostic factor influencing progression free survival was the non-response to salvage therapy (p = 0.045). The prognosis of refractory Hodgkin lymphoma remains poor. The current standard secondary treatment consists of combination therapy, usually followed by autologous stem cell transplantat. Innovative therapies are needed to improve the prognosis of refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
Lymphoid neoplasms encompass a heterogeneous group of malignancies with a predilection for immunocompromised individuals, and the disease burden of lymphoid neoplasms has been rising globally over the last decade. At the same time, mounting studies delineated a crucial role of the gut microbiome in the aetiopathogenesis of various diseases. Orchestrated interactions between myriad microorganisms and the gastrointestinal mucosa establish a defensive barrier for a range of physiological processes, especially immunity and metabolism. These findings provide new perspectives to harness our knowledge of the gut microbiota for preclinical and clinical studies of lymphoma. Here, we review recent findings that support a role for the gut microbiota in the development of lymphoid neoplasms and pinpoint relevant molecular mechanisms. Accordingly, we propose the microbiota-gut-lymphoma axis as a promising target for clinical translation, including auxiliary diagnosis, novel prevention and treatment strategies, and predicting clinical outcomes and treatment-related adverse effects of the disease in the future. This review will reveal a fascinating avenue of research in the microbiota-mediated lymphoma field.

Abstract
Transcriptome differences between Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), which are all derived from B cell, remained unclear. This study aimed to construct lymphoma-specific diagnostic models by screening lymphoma marker genes. Transcriptome data of HL, DLBCL, and MCL were obtained from public databases. Lymphoma marker genes were screened by comparing cases and controls as well as the intergroup differences among lymphomas. A total of 9 HL marker genes, 7 DLBCL marker genes, and 4 MCL marker genes were screened in this study. Most HL marker genes were upregulated, whereas DLBCL and MCL marker genes were downregulated compared to controls. The optimal HL-specific diagnostic model contains one marker gene (MYH2) with an AUC of 0.901. The optimal DLBCL-specific diagnostic model contains 7 marker genes (LIPF, CCDC144B, PRO2964, PHF1, SFTPA2, NTS, and HP) with an AUC of 0.951. The optimal MCL-specific diagnostic model contains 3 marker genes (IGLV3-19, IGKV4-1, and PRB3) with an AUC of 0.843. The present study reveals the transcriptome data-based differences between HL, DLBCL, and MCL, when combined with other clinical markers, may help the clinical diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon B-cell malignant disease. It usually presents with mediastinal and/or laterocervical lymph node localization, while primary extranodal HL is a rare entity giving rise to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. It rarely presents as just extranodal localization, so its presence within the maxillary sinus without any lymphadenopathy is exceptional. Given the rarity of this localization, there is no standard treatment for maxillary sinus HL. We present a case of a patient with extranodal HL of the right maxillary sinus treated with primary surgery followed by adjuvant sequential chemoradiation therapy.

Microenvironment Remodeling and Subsequent Clinical Implications in Diffuse Large B-Cell Histologic Variant of Richter Syndrome. Front Immunol 2020; 11:594841.

Abstract
Introduction Richter Syndrome (RS) is defined as the development of an aggressive lymphoma in the context of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), with a Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) histology in 95% cases. RS genomic landscape shares only a few features with de novo DLBCLs and is marked by a wide spectrum of cytogenetic abnormalities. Little is known about RS microenvironment. Therapeutic options and efficacy are limited, leading to a 12 months median overall survival. The new targeted treatments usually effective in CLL fail to obtain long-term remissions in RS. Methods We reviewed available PubMed literature about RS genomics, PD-1/PD-L1 (Programmed Death 1/Programmed Death Ligand 1) pathway triggering and subsequent new therapeutic options. Results Data from about 207 patients from four landmark papers were compiled to build an overview of RS genomic lesions and point mutations. A number of these abnormalities may be involved in tumor microenvironment reshaping. T lymphocyte exhaustion through PD-L1 overexpression by tumor cells and subsequent PD-1/PD-L1 pathway triggering is frequently reported in solid cancers. This immune checkpoint inhibitor is also described in B lymphoid malignancies, particularly CLL: PD-1 expression is reported in a subset of prolymphocytes from the CLL lymph node proliferation centers. However, there is only few data about PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in RS. In RS, PD-1 expression is a hallmark of recently described « Regulatory B-cells », which interact with tumor microenvironment by producing inhibiting cytokines such as TGF-β and IL-10, impairing T lymphocytes anti-tumoral function. Based upon the discovery of high PD-1 expression on tumoral B lymphocyte from RS, immune checkpoint blockade therapies such as anti-PD-1 antibodies have been tested on small RS cohorts and provided heterogeneous but encouraging results. Conclusion RS genetic landscape and immune evasion mechanisms are being progressively unraveled. New protocols using targeted treatments such as checkpoint inhibitors as single agents or in combination with immunochemotherapy are currently being evaluated.

Abstract
Introduction and objective Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a form of cancer originating from white blood cells that presents upon diagnosis with well-characterized symptoms (palpable lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss). HL is currently one of the most treatable cancers, with a successful treatment rate of 75% worldwide. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between insurance status and the stage of diagnosis of HL in the United States from the years 2007 to 2016. Methods A cross-sectional study using secondary data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database was used. Insurance status of each patient was defined as uninsured (not insured or self-pay), any Medicaid (includes Indian/public health service), insured (private insurance, managed care, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), or Medicare) and insured not specified. Staging was dictated via the SEER combined/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) cancer staging guidelines. We divided the stages into early-stage (localized) and late-stage (regional by direct extension, involving distant sites/nodes). We used univariate descriptive analysis to determine baseline characteristics, bivariate analysis to evaluate potential confounding, and binary logistic regression to compute unadjusted and adjusted odd ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Results Approximately 77% of insured individuals presented with a late-stage diagnosis, compared with 78.1% for insured not specified, 82% for any Medicaid, and 84.9% for uninsured. After adjusting for age, sex, race and marital status, insurance status had a significant impact on the stage of diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The odds ratio (OR) for advanced stage diagnosis of HL in uninsured patients compared to insured patients was 1.72 (95% CI 1.03-2.86, p=0.037); for any Medicaid, the OR was 1.37 (95% CI 1.02-1.83, p=0.036), and for insured not specified, 1.09 (95% CI 0.83-1.44, p=0.522). Conclusions Uninsured patients are significantly more likely to have a later stage diagnosis of HL compared to those that are insured. The findings of this study coincide with the associations found in previous studies involving other cancers such as breast, cervical, prostate, colorectal, hepatocellular, bladder and kidney cancers outcomes and insurance status.

Abstract
Background Many patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma show increased programmed death-1 ligand expression in Reed–Sternberg cells. We report the final results of a phase II study of nivolumab, an anti-programmed death-1 monoclonal antibody, in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods Japanese patients with previously treated classical Hodgkin lymphoma (aged ≥ 20 years) were administered nivolumab (3 mg/kg on Day 1 of 14-day cycles) until progressive disease, an unacceptable adverse event, or another clinically relevant reason. Treatment could continue beyond progressive disease at the investigator’s discretion in selected patients. Results Seventeen patients (median age: 63.0 years) were enrolled. The median follow-up was 38.8 months. One patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma was excluded from efficacy analyses. The centrally assessed overall response rate in 16 classical Hodgkin lymphoma patients was 87.5% (95% confidence interval = 61.7–98.4%) and the disease control rate was 93.8% (95% confidence interval = 69.8–99.8%). The median (95% confidence interval) duration of response and progression-free survival were 8.5 (2.4–12.6) and 11.7 (1.8–42.3) months, respectively. The 3-year overall survival rate was 80.4% (95% confidence interval = 50.6–93.2%). Nivolumab was continued beyond progressive disease in seven patients; six were alive at the data cut-off. Adverse drug reactions occurred in all 17 patients with grades 3–4 adverse drug reactions in eight patients and no grade 5 adverse drug reactions. Pulmonary toxicities occurred in five patients; four of these occurred ≥17 months after starting nivolumab. Conclusion Nivolumab is effective and tolerable in Japanese relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Continued monitoring may be necessary to detect late-onset pulmonary toxicities. Clinical trial registration JapicCTI-142755 (Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center).
