Treatment of high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma with a modified Stanford V regimen in the AHOPCA: Substituting chemotherapy agents and hampered outcomes. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024; 71:e30792. [PMID: 38053237 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.30792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES High-risk Hodgkin lymphoma (HRHL) in children is curable with combined modality therapy. The Association of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology of Central America (AHOPCA) is a consortium of cancer centers from Central America. In 2004, AHOPCA implemented a guideline with a short course of chemotherapy (mStanfordV), strict diagnostics, and radiation guidelines, aimed at reducing abandonment and improving outcomes. METHODS Newly diagnosed children less than 18 years of age with high-risk HL (Ann Arbor stages: IIB, IIIB, IV) from AHOPCA centers were staged with chest radiography and ultrasound or computed tomography. Therapy was a modified Stanford V (mStanfordV), substituting cyclophosphamide for mechlorethamine and involved field radiation. RESULTS Of 219 patients with HRHL, 181 patients were eligible and evaluable; 146 (81%) were boys, 22% being less than 6 years; 43 were stage IIB, 84 IIIB, and 54 IV. Thirty-one (17%) abandoned therapy, 28 (15%) progressed, 30 (17%) relapsed, and eight (4%) died of toxicity. Radiation guidelines were not followed. Five-year abandonment-sensitive event-free survival and overall survival (AS-EFS, AS-OS ± SE) for the cohort were 46% ± 4% and 56% ± 4%; 5-year AS-OS for stages IIB, IIIB, and IV was 76% ± 7%, 59% ± 7%, and 35% ± 7% (p = .0006). CONCLUSION Despite instituting a short treatment guideline, it did not improve the abandonment rate (17%) and did not achieve the reported outcomes of Stanford V. The cyclophosphamide dose used to replace merchlorethamine was inadequate. Despite strict guidelines, the radiation therapy application was inaccurate. Weekly chemotherapy may have adversely affected abandonment of therapy by increasing the burden of travel time. Based on these results, AHOPCA established a new abandonment strategy and a new guideline.

Factors associated with 5- and 10-year survival among a recent cohort of childhood cancer survivors (France, 2000-2015). Cancer Epidemiol 2021; 73:101950. [PMID: 34214767 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2021.101950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survival currently exceeds 80 % five years after diagnosis in high-income countries. In this study, we aimed to describe long-term trends and to investigate socioeconomic and spatial disparities in childhood cancer survival. METHODS The study included 28,073 cases recorded in the French National Registry of Childhood Cancers from 2000 to 2015. Contextual census data (deprivation indices, population density, spatial accessibility to general practitioners) were allocated to each case based on the residence at diagnosis. Overall survival (OS) and conditional 10-year OS for 5-year survivors were estimated for all cancers combined and by diagnostic group and subgroup. Comparisons were conducted by sex, age at diagnosis, period of diagnosis, and contextual indicators. Hazard ratios for death were estimated using Cox models. RESULTS All cancers combined, the OS reached 82.8 % [95 % CI: 82.4-83.3] at 5 years and 80.8 % [95 % CI: 80.3-81.3] at 10 years. Conditional 10-year OS of 5-year survivors reached 97.5 % [95 % CI: 97.3-97.7] and was higher than 95 % for all subgroups except osteosarcomas and most subgroups of the central nervous system. In addition to disparities by sex, age at diagnosis, and period of diagnosis, we observed a slight decrease in survival for cases living in the most deprived areas at diagnosis, not consistent across diagnostic groups. CONCLUSION Our results confirm the high 5-year survival for childhood cancer and show an excellent 10-year conditional survival of 5-year survivors. Additional individual data are needed to clarify the factors underlying the slight decrease in childhood cancer survival observed in the most deprived areas.

[PMID: 30637917 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.27571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Revised: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 11/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a prognosis of recurrent or refractory childhood Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is associated with poor outcomes despite intensive therapy, the immune checkpoint inhibitors PD-1/PD-L1 appear to be therapeutic alternatives for advanced adult cases. However, these pharmacotherapies are yet to be studied in a pediatric population. PROCEDURE The present study measured the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 in diagnostic samples of children with classical HL, according to the disease course. This study included two groups of patients treated at the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Bordeaux University Hospital-a group of cured or in-remission cases and a group of relapsed or refractory cases. Immunohistochemical analyses of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 (clone 28-8, companion test for nivolumab) were performed on baseline and follow-up biopsies. RESULTS Of the 42 included patients, 31 were cured or in remission and 11 were categorized as relapsed or refractory. At the time of diagnosis, PD-1 expression was low (1-3% of intratumoral lymphocytes labeled) in <20% of cases, whereas PD-L1 was expressed by tumor cells in all cases, and strongly (≥50%) in most cases. There were no significant differences in the expression levels of the two checkpoint molecules between the groups. Initial biopsies showed strong expression of PD-L1, whereas expression of PD-1 was rare. CONCLUSIONS The identical labeling profiles of the cured and relapsed/refractory patients suggest that comparable responses to inhibitors of the PD1/PDL1 immunological checkpoints could be expected in patients undergoing first-, second-, or third-line therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) often results in recurrence. Thus, we aimed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of multidrug resistance using bioinformatics strategies. METHODS The gene expression profile was obtained from GEO database. Then, the differentially expressed genes were screened out, and their functional annotations were carried out. Then, gene-signal interaction network was constructed and Connectivity Map (CMAP) analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 1425 dysregulated genes were screened out, which were mainly enriched in biological items, such as small molecule metabolic, signal transduction, and cell apoptosis. Some survival-related pathways, such as MAPK pathways, apoptosis, and P53 pathway, and several hub genes, such as PRKCA, ACTN1, PIP5K1B, PRKACB, and JAK2, might play key roles in the development of multidrug resistance. Interestingly, felodipine was predicted to be a potential agent overcoming the multidrug resistance. CONCLUSIONS The present study offered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of multidrug resistance and identified a series of important hub genes and small agents that might be critical for treatment of multidrug-resistant HL.
