Abstract
This article mainly proposes an evolutionary algorithm and its first application to develop therapeutic strategies for ecological evolutionary dynamics systems (EEDS), obtaining the balance between tumor cells and immune cells by rationally arranging chemotherapeutic drugs and immune drugs. First, an EEDS nonlinear kinetic model is constructed to describe the relationship between tumor cells, immune cells, dose, and drug concentration. Second, the N-level hierarchy optimization (NLHO) algorithm is designed and compared with five algorithms on 20 benchmark functions, which proves the feasibility and effectiveness of NLHO. Finally, we apply NLHO into EEDS to give a dynamic adaptive optimal control policy and develop therapeutic strategies to reduce tumor cells, while minimizing the harm of chemotherapy drugs and immune drugs to the human body. The experimental results prove the validity of the research method.

First-line chemoradiation with or without chidamide (tucidinostat) in patients with early stage intermediate- and high-risk early-stage extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma: a randomized phase 2 study in China. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2022; 113:833-844. [PMID: 35452752 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2022.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the safety and efficacy profile of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by gemcitabine, dexamethasone, cisplatin (GDP), plus chidamide in the first-line setting for intermediate- and high-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL). METHODS This was an open-label, randomized phase 2 trial performed at two centers in China. Patients were eligible if they were newly-diagnosed with intermediate- and high-risk early-stage ENKTCL with at least one risk factor based on a nomogram-revised risk index:> 60 years old, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, invasion of the primary tumor, stage II or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status > 1 or stage II disease. Patients were treated with IMRT followed by GDP, with or without chidamide, in the first-line setting. Two-year progression-free survival (PFS) comprised the primary endpoint. Toxicities, the 2-year overall survival (OS), and the response rate comprised the secondary endpoints. RESULTS Eligible patients (n = 74) were enrolled between May 2015 and December 2019. Among them, 37 patients were treated with IMRT+GDP+chidamide (chidamide group), while 37 cases were treated with IMRT+GDP (control group). Follow-up comprised a median of 43.4 months (range, 1.0-74.6 months). The objective response rate was 86.5% in the chidamide group and 78.4% in the control group (P = 0.359) at the end of treatment completion. The 2-year OS and PFS rates were 89.2% and 75.2% in the chidamide group versus 83.8% (P = 0.388) and 70.2% (P = 0.821) in the control group. The main adverse events were hematological toxicities and mucositis, with similar rates in the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The addition of chidamide to IMRT + GDP as first-line treatment achieved similar treatment outcomes and tolerable toxicities in patients with intermediate- and high-risk ENKTCL.

Abstract
The study aimed to retrospectively analyze the prognosis of patients with stage IE nasal extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) with dose reduction to clinical target volume (CTV) by using simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT). Forty-four patients were reviewed retrospectively. The prescribed dose was 45 Gy/25 fractions for extended involved-field site and 50-55 Gy/25 fractions for primary tumor site by using SIB-IMRT. The 5-year overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 81.2%, 93.0%, and 78.8%, respectively. The complete response (CR) rate was 85.4% (37/44). Three patients (6.8%) patients had local failure and 3 (6.8%) patients developed systemic failure. There was only one patient had grade 3 mucositis and 2 patients had grade 3 or grade 4 hematologic toxicities. For patients with stage IE nasal ENKTL, appropriate dose reduction to CTV by SIB-IMRT strategy is feasible and safe with a promising outcome.

Abstract
The optimal treatment strategy of newly diagnosed stage I/II, extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) remains unclear. This prospective phase II trial was conducted to explore the short-term and the long-term efficacy and safety of upfront concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by pegaspargase, gemcitabine, dexamethasone, cisplatin (P-GDP) regimen in patients newly diagnosed with early stage NKTCL.Thirty patients newly diagnosed with stage I/II NKTCL were enrolled from January 2013 to December 2016, and treated as the following strategy: upfront CCRT with cisplatin weekly (25 mg/m) for 5 weeks, followed by 3 cycles of P-GDP regimen chemotherapy (pegaspargase 2500IU/m capped at 3750IU, intramuscular on day 4, gemcitabine 850 mg/m intravenous on days 1 and 8; dexamethasone 40 mg/day intravenous on days 1 to 4; and cisplatin 20 mg/m intravenous on days 1-3) 3 weeks after the completion of CCRT. The objective response rate (ORR) and the complete response (CR) rate were the primary endpoints, and the secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the adverse event (AE).The median follow-up period was 51.5 months (range, 5-78months). The ORR was 93.3% (28/30) and all these 28 patients attained CR at the end of the treatment. Two patients suffered from lymphoma associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) during the period of consolidation chemotherapy and died within 2 months. The 5-year OS was 93.3%, and the 5-year PFS was 89.4%Mucositis was the most common grades 3/4 nonhematologic AEs (10%, 3/30) of CCRT. During the P-GDP chemotherapy, vomiting (6.7%, 2/30), neutropenia (43.3%, 13/30) and thrombocytopenia (23.3%, 7/30) were the major grades 3/4 toxicities during chemotherapy. No treatment-related deaths occurred.The upfront CCRT followed by P-GDP regimen chemotherapy is an effective and well-tolerated first-line treatment strategy for patients diagnosed with early stage NKTCL. Further investigation of larger sample size is warranted.

CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2020; 20:289-295. [PMID: 32122775 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2019.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2019] [Revised: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to develop a prognostic nomogram for early stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) treated with high-dose radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 81 patients at 2 cancer centers with stage I to IIE ENKL who received chemotherapy (CT) and high-dose RT were retrospectively analyzed. The development of the nomogram was on the basis of the Cox proportional hazards model. We implemented the concordance index (C-index) and performed a calibration curve to determine its predictive and discriminatory capacity and compared our nomogram with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and the Korean Prognostic Index (KPI). RESULTS The nomogram included 4 important variables and used a multivariate analysis: lactate dehydrogenase, primary tumor invasion, tumor response, and CT regimen. The 5-year OS rate and progression-free survival were 64.7% and 57.5%, respectively for the entire group. The C-index of the nomogram for overall survival (OS) prediction was 0.87, and it was superior to the predictive power of the IPI and KPI. The calibration curve showed that the nomogram accurately predicted the 5-year OS. CONCLUSION The proposed nomogram could provide an individualized risk estimate of the OS for early stage ENKL treated with CT and high-dose RT.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal (NP) lymphoma is a rare primary malignancy of the head and neck and represents a minority of malignancies originating from the nasopharynx. For this reason, there are limited data regarding epidemiologic and treatment outcomes. This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with NP lymphoma from 1995 to 2017 at a tertiary medical center. The patients’ demographic data, clinical presentations, treatment modalities, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER) staining, and outcomes were investigated. We considered a total of 35 patients, including 20 males and 15 females, diagnosed with NP lymphoma. The age ranged from 17 to 88 years (mean = 59.6). The common presentations were nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and neck mass. In our study, the most common pathological diagnosis of NP lymphoma was diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n = 17), followed by NK/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) (n = 9). Other pathologic diagnoses included extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma), small lymphocytic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma. There were 13 cases showing EBER positivity, including 7 cases of NKTCL, 5 cases of DLBCL, and 1 case of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). Most patients received chemotherapy alone, while some patients received both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Seven patients had local recurrence, and fewer than half of the patients (n = 16) were alive at the time of the study (mean follow-up duration: 54.4 months). The five-year overall survival was 50.4%. NP lymphoma is very rare, and the most common pathologic type is DLBCL. EBER positivity is found in both NKTCL and DLBCL. Identifying more effective therapeutic agents is extremely important to improve patients’ survival.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Prognosis of early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is usually estimated and stratified at diagnosis, but how the prognosis actually evolves over time for patients who survived after curative treatment is unknown. OBJECTIVE To assess conditional survival and failure hazard over time based on risk categories, previous survival, and treatment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective cohort study reviewed the clinical data of 2015 patients with early-stage NKTCL treated with radiotherapy identified from the China Lymphoma Collaborative Group multicenter database between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015. Patients were stratified into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups according to a previously established prognostic model. Median follow-up was 61 months for surviving patients. Data analysis was performed from December 1, 2017, to January 30, 2018. EXPOSURES All patients received radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Conditional survival defined as the survival probability, given patients have survived for a defined time, and annual hazard rates defined as yearly event rate. RESULTS A total of 2015 patients were included in the study (mean [SD] age, 43.3 [14.6] years; 1414 [70.2%] male); 1628 patients (80.8%) received radiotherapy with chemotherapy, and 387 (19.2%) received radiotherapy without chemotherapy. The 5-year survival rates increased from 69.1% (95% CI, 66.6%-71.4%) at treatment to 85.3% (95% CI, 81.7%-88.2%) at year 3 for conditional overall survival and from 60.9% (95% CI, 58.3%-63.3%) at treatment to 84.4% (95% CI, 80.6%-87.6%) at year 3 for conditional failure-free survival. The annual hazards decreased from 13.7% (95% CI, 13.0%-14.3%) for death and 22.1% (95% CI, 21.0%-23.1%) for failure at treatment to less than 5% after 3 years (death: range, 0%-3.9% [95% CI, 3.7%-4.2%]; failure: 1.2% [95% CI, 1.0%-1.4%] to 4.2% [95% CI 3.9%-4.6%]). Intermediate-risk (11.4% [95% CI, 10.5%-12.3%]) and high-risk (21.6% [95% CI, 20.0%-23.2%]) patients had initially higher but significantly decreased death hazards after 3 years (<6%, range: 0%-5.9% [95% CI, 5.2%-6.7%]), whereas low-risk patients maintained a constantly lower death hazard of less than 5% (range, 0%-4.8%; 95% CI, 4.4%-5.3%). In high-risk patients, radiotherapy combined with non-anthracycline-based regimens were associated with higher conditional overall survival before year 3 compared with anthracycline-based regimens (hazard ratio [HR] for death, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.13-1.95; P = .004 at treatment; HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.07-2.39; P = .02 at 1 year; and HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 0.94-3.33; P = .07 at 2 years) or radiotherapy alone (HR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.73-3.39; P < .001 at treatment; HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.05-3.17; P = .03 at 1 year; and HR, 2.69; 95% CI, 1.23-5.90; P = .01 at 2 years). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The survival probability increased and the hazards of failure decreased in a risk-dependent manner among patients with early NKTCL after radiotherapy. These dynamic data appear to provide accurate information on disease processes and continual survival expectations and may help researchers design additional prospective clinical trials and formulate risk-adapted therapies and surveillance strategies.

A Multicenter Retrospective Comparison of Sequential versus Sandwich Chemoradiotherapy for Stage IE-IIE Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type. J Cancer 2018; 9:1598-1606. [PMID: 29760798 PMCID: PMC5950589 DOI: 10.7150/jca.24310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2017] [Accepted: 03/03/2018] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are critical for treating early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL); however, the optimal therapy sequence remains unclear. Therefore, we performed this study to compare the efficacy of L-asparaginase/pegaspargase-based sequential versus sandwich chemoradiotherapy for patients newly diagnosed with stage IE-IIE ENKTL. Methods: Patients were categorized into sequential (N = 111) and sandwich (N = 104) groups. Chemotherapy regimens included GELOX, SMILE, and VLP. The median radiotherapy dose was 55.0 Gy (range, 40.0-63.0 Gy). Adverse events, treatment responses, and survival outcomes were analyzed. Results: Patients' clinical characteristics were largely comparable between the 2 groups; however, the sandwich group comprised a larger number of Ann Arbor stage IIE patients. Local invasion was the most significant predictor of overall survival (OS); local invasion and Ann Arbor stage were significant predictors of progression-free survival (PFS). There were no significant differences in the complete response rate (85.6% vs. 89.4%, p = 0.396), 3-year OS (77.5% vs. 80.8%, p = 0.636), or 3-year PFS rates (74.8% vs. 76.9%, p = 0.806) in the sequential vs. sandwich groups, respectively. The incidence of grade 3/4 hematological toxicities was higher in the sandwich group than in the sequential group (27.9% vs. 15.3%, respectively, p = 0.025). The response rates and survival outcomes in stage IE and IIE patients did not differ between sequential and sandwich groups. Conclusions: In the era of L-asparaginase/pegaspargase, both sequential and sandwich chemoradiotherapy are safe and similarly effective in patients with newly diagnosed stage IE-IIE ENKTL.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). Methods One hundred and four patients diagnosed with ENKTCL at the Department of Pathology, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China from November 1991 to September 2011 were included in the study. The clinicopathological features and their correlations with disease prognosis were evaluated in these patients. Results The number of effective follow-up cases was 56 (53.8%) by the end of last follow-up in October 2015. Univariate survival analysis showed that granzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression was significantly associated with a poor prognosis in ENKTCL (P = 0.033, 0.004, and 0.034, respectively), whereas platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) expression was significantly associated with a better prognosis (P = 0.034). Ki-67 overexpression (≥50%) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis (P = 0.017). Different treatment approaches were also associated with prognosis (P = 0.014); specifically, the efficacies of combination treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were significantly better than those involving radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone. Patient gender, age, tumor location, staging, the presence of B symptoms, pretreatment lactate dehydrogenase levels, and β2-microglobulin levels were not associated with the prognosis of ENKTCL (P > 0.05). However, multivariate analyses showed that the treatment approach and all the immune markers were not independent prognostic factors for ENKTCL. Conclusion Granzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression and Ki-67 overexpression (≥50%) might be adverse prognostic factors for ENKTCL, whereas PDGFRA-positivity suggested a better disease prognosis. In addition, different treatment approaches might be closely related to patient prognosis.
