Abstract
PURPOSE To present the clinical course of a patient with recurrent NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) involving the orbit and to review the literature on patients with NKTL involving the orbit. METHODS The PubMed database was searched for all cases of NKTL involving orbital, intraocular, or adnexal ocular structures. RESULTS Ninety-six patients were included in the final analysis. The mean age of diagnosis was 48.1 ± 16.8 years. The patients were 53/96 (55.2%) male and 43/96 (44.8%) female. Tumor location varied and included the orbit in 80/96 (83.3%), nasosinus in 56/96 (58.3%), uvea in 11/96 (11.5%), lacrimal gland in 9/96 (9.4%), lacrimal drainage system in 11/96 (11.5%), and conjunctiva in 7/96 (7.3%) cases. Management included surgical debulking in 29/96 (30.2%) cases, radiotherapy in 52/96 (54.2%) cases, and chemotherapy in 82/96 (85.4%) cases. Median survival was 6 months (95% CI: 5-9). Chemotherapy (hazard ratio = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.95, p = 0.013), radiotherapy (hazard ratio = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64-0.87, p < 0.001), and orbital involvement being a recurrence of disease (hazard ratio = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.67-0.95, p = 0.009) were associated with improved survival. Advanced Ann Arbor stage (III-IV) at diagnosis (hazard ratio = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.08-1.38, p = 0.001), vision loss (hazard ratio = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.04-1.34, p = 0.009), proptosis (hazard ratio = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.30, p = 0.035) and periorbital swelling (hazard ratio = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.00-1.33, p = 0.048) were associated with poor survival. CONCLUSIONS NK/T-cell lymphoma involving the orbit, globe, or ocular adnexa heralds a poor prognosis where early diagnosis and therapy are critical. The use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is associated with improved survival.

Comparison of chemotherapy with or without asparaginase for extranodal nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma in children and adolescents. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2021; 68:e28901. [PMID: 33484107 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.28901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Revised: 11/26/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE As extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) occurs rarely in children and adolescents, standardized therapy is yet to be determined. This study aimed to describe the clinical features and determine the optimal chemotherapy regimen for childhood ENKTL. METHODS The treatment outcomes of radiotherapy combined with asparaginase-based (P-GEMOX or P-GMED) or asparaginase-absent chemotherapy regimens (CHOP, EPOCH, or NHL-BFM-90/95) in patients aged ≤18 years with newly diagnosed ENKTL from December 2006 to December 2018 were compared. RESULTS Among the 34 patients included in the study, 21 had stage I/II disease. The overall response rates of chemotherapy with or without asparaginase were 85.0% and 78.6%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 54 months, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rates of patients with stage I/II and III/IV disease were 66.2 ± 11.3% and 26.0 ± 12.8%, respectively (P = .027). In stage III/IV patients treated with asparaginase-based or asparaginase-absent regimens, the 5-year EFS rates were 40.0 ± 17.4% and 0%, respectively (P = .236). The 5-year EFS rates of stage III/IV patients who received or did not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplant were 66.7 ± 27.2% and 11.1 ± 10.5%, respectively (P = .054). In addition, chemotherapy-associated side effects were significantly less in patients treated with asparaginase-based regimens as compared to asparaginase-absent regimens in this cohort. CONCLUSION P-GEMOX and P-GMED regimens are effective and safe for treating childhood ENKTL.

High viral loads of circulating Epstein-Barr virus DNA copy number in peripheral blood is associated with inferior prognosis in patients with mantle cell lymphoma. J Cancer 2020; 11:4980-4988. [PMID: 32742445 PMCID: PMC7378913 DOI: 10.7150/jca.37484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. No research has yet documented to investigate the prognostic implications of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in MCL. The objective of this study was to determine whether EBV DNA load may influence the heterogeneity in the course of the disease in MCL patients. Eighty-eight MCL patients were retrospectively enrolled in the study. EBV DNA load was detected by real-time quantitative PCR for quantification. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were established for the estimation of prognostic factors. Twenty-seven patients were detected positive for EBV DNA and the median virus titer was 1.72×104 copies/mL (range, 8.20×102 to 4.14×105 copies/mL). With a median follow-up of 39 months (range, 9 to 120 months), patients in EBV DNA-positive group displayed unfavorable progression-free survival (PFS) (P=0.012) and overall survival (OS) (P=0.004) than patients in EBV DNA-negative group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that EBV DNA-positivity was an independent risk factor for both PFS (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.07 to 3.92; P=0.031) and OS (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.20 to 6.00; P=0.016). Reduction in EBV copies was significantly associated with therapy-response. Circulating EBV DNA load in whole blood proved to be a significant predictor of prognosis in patients with MCL, which needs further validation in large-scale clinical studies.

Prognostic significance of peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count and derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with newly diagnosed extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. Cancer Manag Res 2019; 11:4243-4254. [PMID: 31190991 PMCID: PMC6511611 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s193397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2018] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Accumulating evidence suggested that tumor microenvironment and host immune system played important roles in determining the clinical course and outcome of human malignancies. The derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) were demonstrated to act as a prognostic factor in several malignancies. Nevertheless, the prognostic significance of them in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) patients has never been explored. Patients and methods: A total of 33 newly diagnosed patients with ENKTL were included in this study. Clinicopathological characteristics were collected and prognostic significance of dNLR and ALC were evaluated. Results: Elevated dNLR and low ALC were both associated with poor survival rates. Patients with dNLR ≥3.6 revealed significantly shorter overall survival (OS) (P=0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P=0.008) than those with dNLR <3.6. Patients with ALC <0.8×109/L had worse OS (P=0.008) and PFS (P<0.001) than those with ALC ≥0.8×109/L. An independent significant association between low ALC and poor clinical outcome in multivariate analysis for OS (HR, 36.023; 95% CI, 2.438–532.243; P=0.009) as well as PFS (HR, 7.698; 95%CI, 1.573–37.679; P=0.012) was identified. Conclusion: In this study, we validated for the first time the prognostic value of dNLR and ALC in ENKTL patients. Elevated dNLR and low ALC were both associated with aggressive tumor process and poor survival.ALC value at diagnosis represented an independent favorable prognostic factor for the clinical outcome of ENKTL patients.

The factors associated with the early diagnosis of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma with prominent ocular symptoms and general nasal NKTL. Am J Otolaryngol 2019; 40:353-357. [PMID: 30717991 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2019.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Revised: 01/11/2019] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
AIM This study explored the clinical features of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) in patients with prominent ocular symptoms and those with general nasal NKTL to improve the early diagnosis of nasal NKTL. METHOD A retrospective cohort study was performed with 278 patients with nasal NKTL admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2011 and December 2017. Of these cases, 56 presented with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms, and 222 presented with general nasal NKTL. RESULTS No significant differences in gender and age distribution were found between patients with general nasal NKTL and those with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms (p > 0.05). Cases of nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms were usually complicated with B symptoms(48.2% vs 32.9%, p < 0.05). Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms were more likely to progress to stage III disease (p < 0.01). The median time from first onset to diagnosis was 2.5 months. Most patients with general nasal NKTL had a longer history (69.6% vs 45.0%, p < 0.01). The misdiagnosis rate of the first visit of patients with general nasal NKTL was 29.3%, and that of patients with prominent ocular symptoms was 51.8%; this difference was significant (p < 0.01). Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms showed a higher positive rate of EBV DNA (p < 0.01), which was significantly associated with staging (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Compared with patients with general nasal NKTL, the early diagnosis of patients with prominent ocular symptoms is difficult and easy to misdiagnose. Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms mostly present with advanced disease stages, and most patients have B symptoms and a high positive rate of EBV DNA.
