Abstract
PURPOSE With modern treatments, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients more frequently experience long-lasting remission resulting in a growing population of long-term survivors. Follow-up care includes identification and management of treatment-related late-effects, such as secondary malignancies (SM). We conducted a population-based study to describe the burden of SM in MCL patients. METHODS All patients with a primary diagnosis of MCL, aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 in Sweden were included along with up to 10 individually matched population comparators. Follow-up was from twelve months after diagnosis/matching until death, emigration, or December 2019, whichever occurred first. Rates of SM among patients and comparators were estimated using the Anderson-Gill method (accounting for repeated events) and presented as hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age at diagnosis, calendar year, sex, and the number of previous events. RESULTS Overall, 1 452 patients and 13 992 comparators were followed for 6.6 years on average. Among patients, 230 (16%) developed at least one SM, and 264 SM were observed. Relative to comparators, patients had a higher rate of SM, HRadj= 1.6 (95%CI:1.4-1.8), and higher rates were observed across all primary treatment groups: the Nordic-MCL2 protocol, R-CHOP, R-bendamustine, ibrutinib, lenalidomide, and R-CHOP/Cytarabine. Compared to Nordic-MCL2, treatment with R-bendamustine was independently associated with an increased risk of SM, HRadj= 2.0 (95%CI:1.3-3.2). Risk groups among patients were those with a higher age at diagnosis (p < 0.001), males (p = 0.006), and having a family history of lymphoma (p = 0.009). Patients had preferably higher risk of melanoma, other neoplasms of the skin and other hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies. CONCLUSIONS MCL survivors have an increased risk of SM, particularly if treated with R-bendamustine. The intensive treatments needed for long-term remissions are a concern, and transition to treatment protocols with sustained efficacy but with a lower risk of SM is needed.

Sex differences in lymphoma incidence and mortality by subtype: A population-based study. Am J Hematol 2023; 98:23-30.

Abstract
It is well established that the male sex is associated with increased risk for, as well as poorer survival of, most cancers. A similar pattern has been described in lymphomas but has not yet been comprehensively assessed. In this nationwide population-based cohort study, we used the Swedish Lymphoma Register to investigate sex differences in lymphoma subtype incidence and excess mortality in adults (age 18-99) diagnosed in 2000-2019. Male-to-female incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and excess mortality ratios (EMRs) adjusted for age and calendar year were predicted using Poisson regression. We identified 36 795 lymphoma cases, 20 738 (56.4%) in men and 16 057 (43.6%) in women. Men were at significantly higher risk of 14 out of 16 lymphoma subtypes with IRRs ranging from 1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-1.22) in follicular lymphoma to 5.95 (95% CI 4.89-7.24) in hairy cell leukemia. EMRs >1 were seen in 13 out of 16 lymphoma subtypes indicating higher mortality in men, although only statistically significant for classical Hodgkin lymphoma 1.26 (95% CI 1.04-1.54), aggressive lymphoma not otherwise specified 1.29 (95% CI 1.08-1.55), and small lymphocytic lymphoma 1.52 (95% CI 1.11-2.07). A corresponding analysis using data from the Danish Lymphoma Register was performed with comparable results. In conclusion, we demonstrate a significantly higher incidence and trend toward higher mortality in men for most lymphoma subtypes. Future studies with large patient material that include detailed clinicopathological prognostic factors are warranted to further delineate and explain sex differences in lymphoma survival to enable optimal management of lymphoma patients regardless of sex.

Abstract
The field of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has witnessed remarkable progress due to relentless advances in molecular pathogenesis, prognostication, and newer treatments. MCL consists of a spectrum of clinical subtypes. Rarely, atypical cyclin D1-negative MCL and in situ MCL neoplasia are identified. Prognostication of MCL is further refined by identifying somatic mutations (such as TP53, NSD2, KMT2D), methylation status, chromatin organization pattern, SOX-11 expression, minimal residual disease (MRD), and genomic clusters. Lymphoid tissue microenvironment studies demonstrated the role of B-cell receptor signaling, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), colony-stimulating factor (CSF)-1, the CD70-SOX-11 axis. Molecular mechanism of resistance, mutation dynamics, and pathogenic pathways (B-cell receptor (BCR), oxidative phosphorylation, and MYC) were identified in mediating resistance to various treatments (bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors [ibrutinib, acalabrutinib]. Treatment options range from conventional chemoimmunotherapy and stem cell transplantation (SCT) to targeted therapies against BTK (covalent and noncovalent), Bcl2, ROR1, cellular therapy such as anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR-T), and most recently bispecific antibodies against CD19 and CD20. MCL patients frequently relapse. Complex pathogenesis and the management of patients with progression after treatment with BTK/Bcl2 inhibitors and CAR-T (triple-resistant MCL) remain a challenge. Next-generation clinical trials incorporating newer agents and concurrent translational and molecular investigations are ongoing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are older. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of a chemotherapy-free combination with ibrutinib and rituximab (IR) in previously untreated older patients with MCL (age ≥ 65 years). METHODS We enrolled 50 patients with MCL in this single-institution, single-arm, phase II clinical trial (NCT01880567). Patients with Ki-67% ≥ 50% and blastoid morphology were excluded. Ibrutinib was administered with rituximab up to 2 years with continuation of ibrutinib alone. The primary objective was to assess the overall response rate and safety of IR. In evaluable samples, whole-exome sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing from baseline tissue samples were performed. RESULTS The median age was 71 years (interquartile range 69-76 years). Sixteen percent of patients had high-risk simplified MCL international prognostic index. The Ki-67% was low (< 30%) in 38 (76%) and moderately high (≥ 30%-50%) in 12 (24%) patients. The best overall response rate was 96% (71% complete response). After a median follow-up of 45 months (interquartile range 24-56 months), 28 (56%) patients came off study for various reasons (including four progression, 21 toxicities, and three miscellaneous reasons). The median progression-free survival and overall survival were not reached, and 3-year survival was 87% and 94%, respectively. None of the patients died on study therapy. Notably, 11 (22%) patients had grade 3 atrial fibrillation. Grade 3-4 myelosuppression was seen in < 5% of patients. Differential overexpression of CCND1, BIRC3, BANK1, SETBP1, AXIN2, and IL2RA was noted in partial responders compared with patients with complete response. CONCLUSION IR combination is effective in older patients with MCL. Baseline evaluation for cardiovascular risks is highly recommended. Randomized trial is needed for definitive conclusions.

Unmarried or less-educated patients with mantle cell lymphoma are less likely to undergo a transplant, leading to lower survival. Blood Adv 2021; 5:1638-1647. [PMID: 33710334 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2020003645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
It is unknown how many mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients undergo consolidation with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT), and the reasons governing the decision, are also unknown. The prognostic impact of omitting AHCT is also understudied. We identified all MCL patients diagnosed from 2000 to 2014, aged 18 to 65 years, in the Swedish Lymphoma Register. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from logistic regression models were used to compare the likelihood of AHCT within 18 months of diagnosis. All-cause mortality was compared between patients treated with/without AHCT using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs estimated from Cox regression models. Probabilities of being in each of the following states: alive without AHCT, alive with AHCT, dead before AHCT, and dead after AHCT, were estimated over time from an illness-death model. Among 369 patients, 148 (40%) were not treated with AHCT within 18 months. Compared with married patients, never married and divorced patients had lower likelihood of undergoing AHCT, as had patients with lower educational level, and comorbid patients. Receiving AHCT was associated with reduced all-cause mortality (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.40-0.85). Transplantation-related mortality was low (2%). MCL patients not receiving an AHCT had an increased mortality rate, and furthermore, an undue concern about performing an AHCT in certain societal groups was seen. Improvements in supportive functions potentially increasing the likelihood of tolerating an AHCT and introduction of more tolerable treatments for these groups are needed.

Abstract
We characterised patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with poor prognosis based on differences in immune infiltration. Different expressions of the tumour cell markers Cyclin D1 and sex-determining region Y-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11), and the immune markers cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), CD4, CD8, CD25, forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3), T-box transcription factor TBX21 (T-bet), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed-death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD163 were investigated for all-cause mortality in 282 patients with MCL and time-to-progression (TTP) in 106 clinical trial patients. With increasing age, a significantly lower infiltration of CD3+ T lymphocytes was seen. T-cell infiltration was independent of cellular tumour antigen p53 (p53) expression, Ki-67, morphology and frequency of tumour cells. The all-cause mortality was higher in patients with PD-L1-expression above cut-off [hazard ratio (HR) 1·97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·18-3·25, adjusted for sex and MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI)] and a higher frequency of CD163+ cells (continuously, HR 1·51, 95% CI 1·03-2·23, adjusting for age, sex, morphology, Ki-67 and p53). In patients treated within the Nordic Lymphoma Group MCL2/3 trials, TTP was shorter in patients with a higher frequency of FoxP3+ cells (HR 3·22, 95% CI 1·40-7·43) and CD163+ cells (HR 6·09, 95% CI 1·84-20·21), independent of sex and MIPI. When combined a higher frequency of CD163+ macrophages and PD-L1+ cells or high CD163+ macrophages and FoxP3+ regulatory T cells indicated worse outcome independent of established risk factors. The T-cell infiltrate was in turn independent of molecular characteristics of the malignant cells and decreased with age.

Abstract
There is a lack of data regarding treatment and prognosis for the growing group of oldest old patients with lymphoma. Therefore, we studied 2347 patients aged ≥85 years from the Danish and Swedish lymphoma registers 2000–2016 (Denmark) and 2007–2013 (Sweden). Outcome was assessed using relative survival (RS). The 2‐year RS overall for patients with aggressive lymphomas was 38% [95% confidence interval (CI) 35–42%], of whom 845 (66%) patients received active treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, other). For aggressive lymphomas, not receiving active treatment was associated with an inferior 2‐year RS of 12% (95% CI 9–17%) compared to 49% (95% CI 45–53%) for patients who received active treatment (excess mortality rate ratio 2·84, 95% CI 2·3–3·5; P < 0·0001). For patients with indolent lymphoma, the 2‐year RS was 77% (95% CI 72–82%). Here, 383 (46%) patients received active treatment at diagnosis, but did not have better 2‐year RS (75%, 95% CI 67–81%) compared to those who did not receive active treatment (83%, 95% CI 74–89%). We conclude that outcomes for the oldest old patients with lymphoma are encouraging for several subtypes and that active treatment is associated with improved outcome amongst the oldest old patients with aggressive lymphomas, indicating that age itself should not be a contraindication to treatment.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma, despite its common derivation from a t(11;14) error that occurs in a naïve B-cell leading to overexpression of cyclin D1 protein, is characterized by substantial heterogeneity in biology and clinical outcome. Unlike other non-Hodgkin lymphoma types, it is more common in men. Clinical presentation patterns vary from nodal to splenomegaly with leukemia to gastrointestinal involvement. Biological variability is linked to tumor cell proliferation. Increased monocyte/macrophages and their associated proinflammatory cytokines are associated with inferior outcomes. These clues mandate that new treatments should target signal pathways that contribute to these adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose The abundant hepatocyte‐expressed plasma protein histidine‐rich glycoprotein (HRG) enhances antitumor immunity by polarizing inflammatory and immune cells in several mouse models, however, the clinical relevance of HRG in human cancer is poorly explored. The expression and role of HRG in human B‐cell lymphomas was investigated in order to find new tools for prognosis and treatment. Findings Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and RNA hybridization of tissue microarrays showed that (i) HRG was expressed by tumor cells in marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), in 36% of 59 cases. Expression was also detected in follicular lymphoma (22%), mantle cell lymphoma (19%), and indiffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL;5%) while primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) lacked expression of HRG. (ii) MZL patients positive for HRG showed a superior overall survival outcome (HR = 0.086, 95% CI = 0.014‐0.518, P‐value = .007), indicating a protective role for HRG independent of stage, age and sex. (iii) HRG‐expressing MZL displayed significantly increased transcript and protein levels of the host defense peptide alpha defensin 1. In addition, global transcript analyses showed significant changes in gene ontology terms relating to immunity and inflammation, however, infiltration of immune and inflammatory cells detected by IHC was unaffected by HRG expression. Conclusion HRG expression by MZL tumor cells correlates with an altered transcription profile and improved overall survival.
