Expression of mGluR5 in Pediatric Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma-A Comparative Analysis of Immunohistochemical and Clinical Findings Regarding the Association between Tumor and Paraneoplastic Neurological Disease. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2452. [PMID: 39001514 PMCID: PMC11240514 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16132452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Autoantibodies targeting the neuronal antigen metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) have been identified in patients with Ophelia syndrome, which describes a co-occurrence of paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Little data exist regarding frequency and function of mGluR5 in HL and its potential role in causing seropositive paraneoplastic disease. We studied a representative cohort of pediatric HL and NHL patients (n = 57) using immunohistochemistry and fluorescence staining to investigate mGluR5 expression. All lymphoma tissues displayed positive mGluR5 staining, with focus on Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells. We did not detect any mGluR5 staining in tumor-free lymph nodes, which is consistent with the absence of GRM5 transcripts in RNA-sequencing data from non-malignant B and T cells. The frequent presence in pediatric lymphoma falls in line with reports of mGluR5 expression and associated tumor progression in other malignancies. We tested for correlation with clinical features, focusing on disease progression and neurological symptoms. Low mGluR5 expression in H-RS cells correlated with young patient age (<15 years) and positive histology for EBV infection. Paraneoplastic or neurological symptoms were found exclusively in HL patients. While an impact of mGluR5 on HL severity remains possible, a prognostic value of mGluR5 expression levels requires further investigation.

Real-World Use of Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography and Reported Deauville Scores in Advanced-Stage Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Community Oncology Practice Perspective. JCO Oncol Pract 2023; 19:860-870. [PMID: 37651672 PMCID: PMC10615434 DOI: 10.1200/op.23.00021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the use of interim positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans and Deauville 5-point scale (5PS) score reporting for stage III/IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) treated frontline (1L) in community oncology settings. METHODS This retrospective, observational study included adults with stage III/IV cHL initiating 1L doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD), brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, or an escalated dosing regimen of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone within the US Oncology Network between January 2017 and October 2019. Data were collected from electronic health records and chart reviews and summarized descriptively. RESULTS A total of 262 patients were included; 48.9% were age 39 years or younger. Most were male (57%), White (59%), had an International Prognostic Score <4 (76%), and received 1L ABVD (74%). Forty-nine percent of patients had stage III and 51% had stage IV cHL. Of 258 patients with ≥1 PET-CT scan, 71% (n = 184) had an interim scan and 64% received ≥1 scan at an off-site location. Of patients treated 1L with ABVD who received a baseline and interim scan, Deauville 5PS scores were not documented for 45% of patients; in 90% of these cases, a standardized uptake value (SUV) was reported. CONCLUSION In community oncology settings, under-reporting of Deauville 5PS scores for interim PET-CT scans was observed. In the absence of Deauville 5PS scores, SUV results were generally provided. These results highlight educational opportunities that exist for PET-adapted ABVD, including consistency in reporting/utilization of Deauville 5PS scores to de-escalate or escalate treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE We surveyed oncologists who treat classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) as part of the CONNECT study to understand the treatment decision-making process, including the impact of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. METHODS US physicians self-identifying as oncologists, hematologists, or hematologists/oncologists with ≥2 years of practice experience who treated ≥1 adult with stage III/IV cHL in the frontline setting in the last year were surveyed (October 19-November 16, 2020). Physician demographics, guideline adherence, and PET/CT utilization, interpretation, and access barriers were assessed. RESULTS In total, 301 physicians participated in the survey. Eighty-eight percent of physicians gave somewhat-to-significant consideration to NCCN guidelines. Most physicians (94%; n = 284) reported obtaining a PET/CT scan at diagnosis; of these physicians, 97% reported obtaining an interim PET/CT scan for stage III/IV cHL, with 65% typically obtaining an interim PET/CT scan after cycle 2. The Deauville 5-point scale (5PS) was the primary scoring system used to review PET/CT results by 62% of physicians, with a positive score defined as ≥3 by 44%, ≥4 by 37%, and ≥2 by 12% of physicians. Fifty-five percent of physicians reported difficulty in obtaining PET/CT scans. CONCLUSION Although most physicians considered NCCN guidelines when treating patients with stage III/IV cHL, interim PET/CT scans after cycle 2 were not universally obtained. When PET/CT scans were obtained, Deauville 5PS scores were not always provided, and variability existed on what defined a positive score. These findings suggest that opportunities exist for education and improved PET-adapted treatment approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With increasing cancer incidence and survival rates, follow-up care becomes a major healthcare concern, placing increased demands on general practitioners (GPs). We explored GPs' awareness of late effects (LEs) after cancer treatment. Their degree of involvement and attitudes towards follow-up care was studied separately for solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). DESIGN AND SETTING Mailed questionnaire study in Norwegian general practice. SUBJECTS 185 responding GPs with responsibility for HL survivors, more than 10 years since diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND RESULTS All GPs reported some awareness of LEs. Increasing awareness of LEs was associated with female sex, being a specialist, having experience from hospital-based cancer care and familiarity with official guidelines on LEs after treatment. The majority of GPs were involved in follow-up care, which increased with patients' time since treatment and was associated with higher awareness of LEs. GPs with work experience in hospital-based cancer care were more likely to be engaged in HL follow-up. Most GPs were willing to provide follow-up care at some point after treatment. Older and more experienced GPs, and those satisfied with the collaboration with hospital specialists, were more likely to provide follow-up earlier. CONCLUSION GPs' awareness of LEs and their willingness to provide follow-up care were related to familiarity with guidelines and experience. GPs more involved in follow-up care also had higher knowledge of LEs. Distribution of guidelines on LEs and follow-up care, and improving collaboration with hospital specialists, might increase GPs' knowledge and willingness to become involved in follow-up care, especially early in their careers. GPs' involvement and attitude towards follow-up of survivors of common solid cancers and HL, a rare malignant disease, were similar.KEY POINTSNorwegian general practitioners (GPs) are involved in survivorship care after cancer treatment. We investigated their awareness of late effects (LEs), their involvement and their attitude towards follow-up care of solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma. • GPs registered as specialists, aware of guidelines and with experience from hospital-based cancer care reported higher awareness of LEs. • GPs with higher awareness of LEs were more frequently involved in follow-up care. • GPs with longer experience in general practice were comfortable with follow-up care at an earlier stage after treatment. • Results were similar for follow-up care of survivors of solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Abstract
Purpose: There is lack of consensus on management of adolescent and young adult (AYA) Hodgkin lymphoma with respect to chemotherapy approach (adult or pediatric). Hence we sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy in AYA Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients and Methods: It is a retrospective, observational, single-center study. From January 2013 to December 2016, all consecutive patients with AYA (15-25 years, all stages) were analyzed. The primary endpoint of the study was event-free survival (EFS). Secondary endpoints were complete response rates (CR) and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 220 patients (70% men) with median age 20 years were evaluated. A significant proportion of patients had adverse features such as stage III/IV disease (63%), bulky disease (63%), extranodal involvement (37%), and marrow involvement (22%). After two cycles and end of therapy, 77% patients achieved complete response. Primary progressive disease was seen in 6% patients. With a median follow-up of 2.6 years, 19 (8.6%) patients relapsed, 1 patient developed second malignancy, and 6 patients died. Three-year EFS and OS were 81.3% and 97%, respectively. Bleomycin-induced lung injury was seen in 16% patients. On multivariate analysis stage at presentation, bone marrow involvement, partial response at interim positron emission tomography and International prognosis score (IPS) >3 were predictors of poor EFS. Conclusion: ABVD is an effective and safe regimen in AYA Hodgkin lymphoma. Advanced disease with high IPS (>3) score needs an early escalation approach to escBEACOPP regimen.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) represent a distinct group of patients. The objectives of this study were: To compare adolescent prognosis to that of younger children; to compare the results achieved with the two consecutive protocols in both age groups; to analyze clinical characteristics of children and adolescents. Between 1996 and 2017, 1759 patients aged <18 years were evaluable for the study. Five hundred and sixty patients were treated with the MH’96 protocol and 1199 with the LH2004 protocol. Four hundred and eighty-two were adolescents aged ≥15 years. Patients in both age groups showed very favorable prognoses. In particular, OS improved with the LH2004 protocol, especially in the adolescent group and in the low risk group, where radiation therapy was spared. Adolescent characteristics differed significantly from the children’s according to sex, histology, and the presence of symptoms. Remarkable is the decrease both in mixed cellularity in the children and in low stages in both age groups in the LH2004 protocol with respect to MH’96 protocol. Based on our experience, adopting pediatric protocols for AYA does not compromise patient outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to extensively describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic outcomes of adolescents and young adults (AYA) population with classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL). Then, a comparison between AYAs and adults and between the subgroups of AYAs treated with the same adult protocol was accomplished to further inform on optimal therapy approach of choice for adolescent patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this mono-centric, retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records. We analyzed 112 consecutive North Tunisian patients, including 66 AYAs (15 to 39 years) and 46 adults (≥40years) affected by cHL treated from 2000 to 2015 at Salah Azaiez Institute. Then, we performed a comparative analysis between AYA and 46 adult patients and a subgroup analysis between adolescents and young adults. All patients were treated according to the national protocol for HL, edited by the Tunisian Society of Hematology. The treatment included chemotherapy and involved-field radiotherapy (RT) at a dose of 20 or 30 Grays (Gy) for responders and 36Gy for non-responders. RESULTS AYA patients presented with adverse features with nodular sclerosis subtype (p=3.88×10-02) and mediastinal mass involvement (p=9.40×10-04). At a median follow-up of 51 and 32 months for AYAs and adults, respectively, no statistical difference in terms of 3 and 5-years overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) was shown. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, in AYAs, the ABVD regimen has an impact on 3-years EFS (p=4.63×10-02). The 36Gy RT was associated with the best 3-years EFS (p=9.24×10-03). Besides, AYA patients with advanced-stage had the worst 3-years OS (76%) (p=2.41×10-02). Although the adolescents and young adults shared similar clinical presentation, we noted that the adolescent group had the worst 3-years EFS (48%), but the best 3-years OS (91%). We identified 15% of primary refractory patients and a rate of toxicity of 5.3% in AYA. CONCLUSION The treatment approach used is well tolerated by adult patients. However, the AYA patients and particularly adolescent subgroup had more advanced disease at diagnosis and should be treated more intensively in dedicated units. RT dose<36Gy and ABVD chemotherapy were associated with lower EFS in this population.

Abstract
Detecting extranodal disease in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma is of great importance for both treatment and prognosis. Different imaging techniques can be used to identify these extranodal sites. This pictorial essay provides an overview of imaging features of extranodal disease manifestation in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinicopathological features and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status of lymphoma in children and adolescents in South China is under-researched. South China is a well-known high-incidence area of EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS A cohort of 662 consecutive children and adolescents' lymphomas was retrospectively analyzed and Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNAs (EBERs) in situ hybridization was performed to detect the EBV infection. RESULTS The majority (501/662, 75.7%) of lymphomas in children and adolescents was Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). One hundred sixty one cases (24.3%) were Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Of the NHL, precursor cell lymphoma, mature B-cell lymphoma and peripheral T/NK-cell lymphoma accounted for 32.0%, 41.1% and 26.9% respectively. The five common subtypes were lymphoblastic lymphoma (32.0%), Burkitt lymphoma (BL) (21.0%), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) (14.2%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (13.8%) and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL) (6.2%). EBV infection was detected in 58.9% classical Hodgkin lymphomas (CHLs), 21.4% mature B-cell lymphomas and 52.4% peripheral T/NK-cell lymphomas. Moreover, EBV was associated with high grade NHL including ENKTCL (100.0%), BL (30.5%) and DLBCL (17.6%). CONCLUSION The high proportion of peripheral T/NK-cell lymphomas in children and adolescents in South China are presented in this study and compared to western countries due to the high percentage of ENKTCL. ENKTCL is firmly associated with EBV infection, while more than half of HL, a portion of BL and DLBCL are related to EBV infection. This study conclusively demonstrates that EBV infection is more prevalent in children and adolescents with lymphomas in South China compared to western countries.
